Not necessarily, Maxima is capable of understanding unescaped paths, for 
example, this works:

maxima --very-quiet -r "batchload(\"/tmp/sp 
ce/babel-gxqTkM/maxima-ua3e9j.max\")"$

Yes, good catch.

Command line Maxima actually has a batch flag, but using it returns the 
entire input file in the output too and that seems to be the reason why 
the original authors of ob-maxima didn't use it. It's probably possible 
to filter that on our side, but such filtering would require extra work, 
which they probably deemed unnecessary, for such a rather obscure set of 
use cases.

Anyway, I've tried to get it to work using shell-quote-argument, see the 
attached patch. Seems to work well enough in practice on both platforms 
and for cases like (setq temporary-file-directory "/tmp/`echo hi`/").
