Yes, please fix it ASAP.
Yes, in my completely unbiased opinion, I feel this is extremely important to fix.
Perhaps have an %%created_by_escaped%% attribute, where spaces are converted into %20s (or hyphens).

Note that whatever escaping is used, if any, has to be undone in @URL so that the value can be safely used for selection in ListPages. There's no point mangling usernames to be safe, if the results can't be used.

Yes, I've tested both methods with @URL:
Both the %20 AND the hyphen work. So in terms of which is more useful, we should definitely go with the %20 method… which is much easier to program too.

Inspecting the ozone_user table in my WDOS install, there is a unix_name field that uses hyphens in place of spaces (much like when creating new wiki pages — spaces in page titles are replaced with hyphens). The nick_name field in the user table is the one that has spaces. I would propose just looking up the unix_name if an attribute like %%created_by_escaped%% is added since it's formatted in a way that works now (proved by James' test).

This is a design problem with links syntax, which does not allow spaces inside. We'll fix THAT problem soon, so I'm closing this ticket.

I'm thinking this issue is still unresolved. Shouldn't we keep tickets open until the fix appears?
