> AFAICT, it's due to how headers are parsed by 'org-babel-parse-header-arguments' using 'org-babel-read'. The cell "\"1 2 3\"" (corresponding to :cmdline "1 2 3") is reduced through 'string-match' to "1 2 3". The cell "1 2 3" (corresponding to :cmdline 1 2 3), on the other hand, passes through. The result is that :cmdline "1 2 3" and :cmdline 1 2 3 become indistinguishable.

Yes, "1 2 3" and 1 2 3 are the same from the perspective of header arg
parser - on purpose.

The idea is to allow passing arbitrary Elisp objects are values

:header-argument #("fancy" 0 1 (invisible t))
:cmdline "string object"
:foo '(a b c)

To force quotes in the :cmdline one can do

#+begin_src bash :cmdline "\"1 2 3\"" 
echo "$1"
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 1 2 3

Not a bug.
Canceled.
