Sorry, I should have written that I have performed tests:

Here is what I did:

test\ 1         /mnt/test\ 1            ufs     ro              0       0
'test 2'        '/mnt/test 2'           ufs     ro              0       0
"test 3"        "/mnt/test 3"           ufs     ro              0       0

This test program

---> snip <--
#include <fstab.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
	struct fstab *f;
	
	while (0 != (f = getfsent ())) {
		printf ("%s %s %s\n", f->fs_spec, f->fs_file, f->fs_vfstype);
	}
	
	return 0;
}
---> snip <--

Gives me the following output:
