Only when Emacs generates the program name itself.  When the program
comes from the user typing its name (typically, into the minibuffer),
it's the user's responsibility to quote whatever arguments need that,
precisely as she would when typing the command at the shell's prompt.
(Stefan pointed out one situation where the latter behavior is quite
necessary, but there are other similar cases as well.)
