After Mark and Tomi's hints I read the code more closely and really
understand why my setting actually works and why this is actually an
intended behavior.  Given that it doesn't actually depend on passing
through the shell quoting, supports oddball folder names with spaces in
them, and makes it easy to continue to support sender-based Fcc
selection (which I also expect to want to use eventually), I'm happy
with it as is.

I'll send a suggested documentation patch to the list to make it easier
to discover the behavior shortly.
