This is more of a feature than a bug.  What is happening is that windres 
is concatenating two double-quote enclosed strings into one string, just 
as a C compiler would do.  So:

   "foo"
   "bar"

is treated as if you had typed:

   "foobar"

The simple way around this is to use single quotes for the second 
string, as in:

  metal                       png     DISCARDABLE  "../source/metal.png"
  'temple of the ancestors'   fxp     DISCARDABLE 
"../presets/syntheticenvironments/temple of the ancestors.fxp"


Cheers
