Hi Dennis,
You'll find the XML source for that page here:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tashi/site/xdocs/index.xml
which is missing the navigation applied later, I see that
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tashi/site/xdocs/stylesheets/site.vsl
has a line :
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
The menu items in question are here:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tashi/site/xdocs/stylesheets/project.xml
and the source uses  
the transformed output html of that source xml file is
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tashi/site/docs/index.html
and looks like the spaces are ok at that point.
appropriate charsets and mime types seem to be set ok in the web server conf files.
HTH
