Qubes OS release: 4.3 rc3

qvm-run --dispvm default-dvm ls / fails with error $dispvm:default-dvm: VM name containers illegal characters

On the other hand, qvm-run --dispvm default-dvm "ls /" works with message "Running 'ls /' on $dispvm:default-dvm`

I think it's a bug, instead of feature request, because the doc suggests it is already supported: https://dev.qubes-os.org/projects/core-admin-client/en/latest/manpages/qvm-run.html
