Just made a check with xev. Everything seems fine at xev level.
From xev point of view pressing space returns char 20 => which indeed is a space.
My latest idea about "oss" being the source of the problem is not the good one.
Did you try the configuration to reproduce the bug ?
That is :
=> xorg.conf such as the attachment I made => Set 'France Alternative' as default keyboard in GNOME.
then
launch rhythmbox and try to search with something including a space caracter.
