curl does quotes better:

curl 'http://ckan.net/api/search/package?q=lobid&publishingInstitution="http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-605"'

and it may help to encode request params in json using the 'qjson' parameter.

Just to say I'm also investigating the filter_by_openness question and
will get back tomorrow, royal wedding watching permitting.
