Binary package hint: mountall

I use \040 in /etc/fstab to have a white space in the mount path. Since Dec 24th update this crashes mountall and makes boot fail. However, the device mounts correctly.
Reproduction:

~# ls /media
cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1

~# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=8291bc13-62e6-4ee8-944d-e4963e9497db / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=786aa4a5-4556-44ff-83d9-e51a786540b0 none swap sw 0 0

/dev/sda2 /media/Windows\0407 ntfs-3g

~# mountall --debug

/dev/sda2 on /media/Windows 7 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)

-- /dev/sda2 was mounted correctly

~# ls /media
cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1 Windows 7
-- Sometimes a empty folder called 'Windows\0407' is created

It seems that mountall correctly mounts the partition on its place but then it checks the path "as is" and fails because Windows\0407 is not a mount point.
