For my "Differences" tool settings I have:

Executable: C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 4\BComp.exe
Parameters: "%1" "%2"

But when using the new "Compare to" popup menu item, the resulting command line does not include the double quote characters. This means that if the filenames have spaces, the command is not executed correctly.

Doubling the quotes as follows fixes it, but I don't think that's how this is intended to work.

Parameters: ""%1"" ""%2""

Version 13.0.0.1883 (64 bit) on Windows 10

You should not include the quotes. They will be added when needed.
