If you are using lepton...
I guess that the "space" splitting is done in:

$ fgrep -A10 '(define bom2:parseconfig' lepton-eda/netlist/scheme/backend/gnet-bom2.scm 
(define bom2:parseconfig
  (lambda (port options)
    (let ((attribs (backend-option-ref options 'attribs)))
      (if attribs (string-split attribs #\,)
          (and port
               (let ((read-from-file (read-delimited " \n\t" port)))
                 (cond ((eof-object? read-from-file)
                        '())
                       ((= 0 (string-length read-from-file))
                        (bom2:parseconfig port options))
                       (else

Try to change the " \n\t" to "\n" and see if that solves your problem.

and if geda, geda-gaf/gnetlist-legacy/scheme/gnet-bom2.scm
