Quoting appears to work for me:

$ echo -e 'info qtree\nq' | qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -S -display none 
-monitor stdio -drive if=none,id=drv0,file=tmp.qcow2,serial='            
ABCD1234' -device ide-hd,drive=drv0 | grep serial
            serial = "            ABCD1234"

Aside: the above uses legacy syntax.  The preferred place for serial is
-device, like this:

    -drive if=none,id=drv0,file=tmp.qcow2
    -device ide-hd,drive=drv0,serial='            ABCD1234'
