I don't think it's really a bug--more like a command line expectation.
Parameters on the command line are separated by spaces.  So you
are ending up with a command line of:

\fp\rclerk gfokname -sanc -xa -d -r something -rw Simon, George

This gets parsed as:
	parameter: -r 	contents: something
	parameter: -rw 	contents: Simon,
	parameter: George	contents: nothing

To work around, enclose the paramters in quotes so that the resulting
command line is:

\fp\rclerk gfokname -sanc -xa -d -r something -rw "Simon, George"

That should give you the behavior you are looking for.
