This was fixed in Emacs 22.1, > which was released in June 2007. > > If you are already using a newer version, you must have something in > your .emacs that disables this feature. And if you have an older Emacs version and do not upgrade you can bind SPC in keymaps `minibuffer-local-completion-map' and `minibuffer-local-must-match-map' to command `self-insert-command'. (The problem is that SPC is bound by default to `minibuffer-complete-word' in those keymaps.) (As Peter mentioned, if you do not want to fix this generally you can just use `C-q SPC' whenever you need to insert a space char.)
