Yes, that works,

actually for dvips I had

("File" "%(o?)dvips %d -o %f " TeX-run-command t t :help "Generate PostScript 
file")

which was official set-up (at least at the time when I
froze Tex-command-list with my additions, I should check
more often if "upstream" has evolved)

I must have used \"%d\" for filenames with spaces back then.
Or perhaps I copied that from elsewhere.

But I was mistaken because testing now with "File" as above
for latex+dvips I see that spaces are escaped automatically it seems

Running `File' on `é é' with ``dvips e\́\ e\́.dvi -o e\́\ e\́.ps ''

and now after having removed per your suggestion the quotes:

Running `PDF par dvipdfmx' on `é é' with ``dvipdfmx e\́\ e\́.dvi''
é é.dvi -> é é.pdf

This \"%d\" has been there in my customization for many many
years, perhaps back then it was used elsewhere in TeX-command-list
and I copied it.

(desperate effort to shift the blame to someone else ;-) )

Thanks for helping out, hope it may be useful one day to people
reading this !
