This error is still present in jaunty and can be confirmed by using the same procedure described by Nikolaus. The error was fixed by the maintainer in September 2007 with version 3.21. The current version of latexmk is 4.08 which was released on June 23 of this year. For some reason, the version in the ubuntu repositories is 3.07, which is over 5 years old. The simplest solution seems to be upgrading the version in the repositories.

Until then, the easiest fix for users is to install the latest version from CTAN or the maintainer's website. I've tested this version and filenames with whitespace no longer present a problem.
