I just checked, there's no quote in the manual, nor in the comments of
the default texdoc.cnf file.

OTOH, it's just one line of code...

Hum, there is nothing special to conf files here: currently this part of
texdoc's code doesn't know where the value comes from.

You're right, it never stated explicitely that texdoc already quotes the
filenames. (I would think it is implicitely clear that is is meanst to
"do the right thing", but, being explicit in the manual never hurts.)
