Why is that?  I mean, why can't Gnus handle it?  Elisp strings and
symbols are very clean -- as far as Emacs is concerned, you can well
have NUL characters in them, let alone spaces.

If Gnus refuses to handle spaces in groups because they are forbidden
on Usenet, maybe Gnus should be fixed to be more lenient for other
backends?
