Actually, it's right there in section 4.3 of the manual, last
sentence: "if you need to remove ambiguities about the end of the
link, enclose them in angular brackets. "

Thanks, both these methods work -- although I still think it would be
nice if org mode could properly handle angle brackets inside square
ones; the motivation here is that often I just paste in file paths
instead of  using C-c C-l, and then I have to use angle brackets to
deal w/ spaces; if I later want to change it to an annotated link, it
would be nice not to have to strip the angle brackets before wrapping
it in square ones...
