No they wouldn't. I can't think of any reason why a Bathurst station transfer would be refused on any of the routes that the Spadina streetcar intersects (assuming it wasn't a very old transfer).
Why would you think they would reject it? I've done far stranger things, to make the quickest journey between point A and point B, without any complaint.
If you go to the TTC Trip Planner, it will even tell you to do this for some trips. For example, Bathurst Station to College and Major if you tell it you don't want to walk more than 250 metres. The second option (for the current time) is to take the subway to Spadina, the 510 to College, and a 506 to College/Major, with 2 transfers. So it's certainly a valid TTC trip with 2 transfers!
Maybe I just have bad luck but I've had Bathurst transfers refused in that scenario. A Spadina streetcar driver will not issue a transfer at Spadina because it is assumed that you would have taken one when paying your fare upstairs to get into the station. By not taking the transfer at Bathurst, I am breaking the 'must obtain transfer where fare is paid' rule; but since changing from the subway to the 510 doesn't require a paper transfer, I don't need to take one at Bathurst.
