No, that definitely failed, passing the encoding string (not actual spaces) to the template.
I'll try to bake up a test template to see what's going on with the parameter.
It's the {{urlencode: }} that strips the leading and trailing spaces, according to the mediawiki help at meta [1].
I don't see how you fix that easily, so you may have to use a custom template to get your preferred URL displayed.
