The problem is that the code handling the embedded data objects fails when there are square brackets in the name. The square brackets cannot be escaped (as suggested by George) as the code does not recognise the escape character within the name - which is why Barth cannot get tag names with [ to work in labels.

The solution is to write a more intelligent parser for embedded data objects or to disallow [] in the names. The latter seems simpler and we can continue to support existing data object names with [] (but they won't work in labels just as at present).
