This has been fixed in busybox-power 1.18.4power3.

I don't know whether it was a bug or a feature: the responsible 'code' was a simple flag (PARSE_GREEDY) passed to a function responsible for parsing files. After removing this flag, the complete hostname (including spaces) was read from files (including /etc/hostname) again.
