Per vmware/vic-ui#67 (comment), document that the vic-machine command generated by the Create VCH wiz does not escape special characters or whitespace in option arguments.

Added the following to the topic on finalizing the Create VCH wizard:

What to Do Next

The Create Virtual Container Host wizard does not include any escape characters in the generated vic-machine command. Consequently, if any of the values that you specified in the wizard include special characters or spaces, you must edit the saved vic-machine command to wrap those values in quotes before you can reuse the command to create similar VCHs. For information about using quotes to escape special characters and spaces, see Specifying Option Arguments.
