I find this a bit too strong. How about

"WARNING: you are about to install GRASS into a directory that has
spaces in either its name or the path of directories leading up to it.
Some functionalities of GRASS might be hampered by this. We would highly 
appreciate if you tried and reported any problems, so that we can fix 
them. However, if you want to avoid any such issues, we recommended that 
you choose a simple installation path without spaces such as: C:\GRASS."
