Issue created by <https://github.com/kaos|kaos>
*Describe the bug*  
If you attempt to inject any `--args`, `pex` will complain like:

```
pex: error: argument --inject-args: expected one argument
```

*Pants version*  
2.16.0rc0

*Additional info*  
<https://pantsbuild.slack.com/archives/C0D7TNJHL/p1682003882696899|Slack thread>

These args needs to be escaped:
