Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
winset(client,"window.element","image='ICONNOSPACE.png'")//works
winset(client,"window.element","image='ICON SPACE.png'")//works

var/list/TestList=list("Image"='ICONNOSPACE.png')
winset(client,"window.element","image=[TestList["Image"]]")//works
winset(client,"window.element","image=\"[TestList["Image"]]\"")//works
winset(client,"window.element", list("image" = TestList["Image"]))//works
winset(client,"window.element", "image=\ref[fcopy_rsc(TestList["Image"])]")//works

var/list/TestList=list("Image"='ICON SPACE.png')
######
winset(client,"window.element","image=[TestList["Image"]]")//doesn't work
######
winset(client,"window.element","image=\"[TestList["Image"]]\"")//works
winset(client,"window.element", list("image" = TestList["Image"]))//works
winset(client,"window.element", "image=\ref[fcopy_rsc(TestList["Image"])]")//works

I thought that there were more to it than this; Turns out I was being silly. I understand this not working. The topic can be deleted/closed if there is no fix to this.
Params can take an associative list directly now, rather than dealing with messy strings. Have you tried that?
Lummox JR resolved issue (Not a bug)
There's no bug here. This is just a failure to encode the data correctly. Hence why the \ref cases work as expected, and why the associative list format for winset() also works.
