Reading the docstring of completing-read I see no reason why it should
not accept spaces. So either the docstring is at fault or there is a bug
on completing-read. Curiously, the function will complete the user's
input to a string containing spaces if there is one on the collection of
candidates:

(completing-read "say: " (list "hello there"))

Please submit a bug report (M-x report-emacs-bug) against completing-read.
