[IRCServices] Services' allow spaces in nicks?

This should really be an ircd problem. The ircd's svsnick command should not
allow those things. When telling services RAW, you are basically telling
services to send that exact information to the server. You might want to
contact your ircd developer on this, as I will be shortly because we have a
similar problem. (though this is trivial, only services admins can do this)
