#20443: Featured image cannot be set if WordPress install path contains spaces

 If WordPress is installed in a directory with a name that contains spaces
 ("/home/username/public_html/path with spaces", for example), the Featured
 Image meta box displays only a PHP warning, preventing a Featured Image
 from being set.

 The warning is as follows, and seems to appear with or without WP_DEBUG
 enabled:

 {{{
 Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in
 C:\path\htdocs\path with spaces\wp-admin\includes\post.php on line 1149
 }}}

 I think this is caused by the extra % characters introduced after encoding
 the URL from `get_upload_iframe_src`, which confuse the subsequent
 `sprintf` calls.

 As reported [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-images-error
 here] on the support forums.
