When I installed Mozilla all the IE favorites were automatically copied over into a folder called, surprise, surprise, "Imported IE Favorites"... despite the fact that I didn't want them.

Opera does that too nowadays. :devious2:
If it's not possible is0lized, you could always use one of those third party bookmark managers that import/export IE/NN/O to convert them. Btw, doesn't IE export to Netscape?

%20 will convert to a space anyway so it doesn't really matter.

Isn't Netscape bookmarks just a html file anyway? Open it and do some Find and Replace.

Doesn't Moz use the same system as Netscape? Just open the Bookmark.html in a text editor and replace all "%20" with " ". :p

Yeah, it does. Look for a file called "bookmark.html" (probably in your "profiles" folder) and open it. It should be pretty self-explanatory after that :). Be sure to edit it while Mozilla is closed, if you change it while its still running your changes will just be overwritten.
