that is correct.  Spaces are not the problem on Windows, but the
ampersand.  In

http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gconf/trunk/gconf/gconf-backend.c?revision=2371&view=markup

you will find that the string invalid_chars is defined as "\t\r\n\"$&<>,
+=#!()'|{}[]?~`;%\\" and if any of those characters appears in a gconf
configuration source address, then that is declared as invalid.  In the
end you do not have any writable gconf source and are tied to the
default values.

For a bug, see

Thanks a lot for the report!  I do not know whether we can do a lot
about that though.
