It does work. Almost any insufficient quoting can be worked around
by the user applying extra quoting to the command line; this is not
a reason to not classify this as a bug with the capability to destroy
user data, though.

The fix is *probably* easy enough, separate the arguments from the
options by “--” on the command line that is passed to the remote side
(then apply extra escaping for ssh, of course).
