Yes, with ssh the argument strings are dequoted by the local shell and then seen by the remote shell. The "$@" or a "${array[@]}" only preserves the strings for the local dequoting.
The args=$(printf "%q " "$@") \escapes each special character, so the double dequoting works.
Other methods are args=$(printf "'%s' " "$@") or args=$(printf "\"%s\" " "$@").
