This is because spaces do not have to be escaped in the link path.
The warning is to assist users of the pre Org 9.3 link syntax.
See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-release-notes.html#orgbb3ee64

Please note that this link warning is marked as low-trust. So, if you
use percent-escaped syntax deliberately (as in the example), you may
ignore this warning ("i" in org-lint buffer).

Not a bug.
Canceled.
