I have just had a quick look at it. I believe looking for .replace(' in all project files gives the answer: from what I understand, only "_" is being escaped right now, and the code is there in many places (vector, scalar, string, ...). Instead of queuing replace calls to escape all special characters, I was wondering whether it would not be nicer to find a common place (object.cpp?) to provide a function that escapes special characters in object names (very much like QRegexp::escape). What do you think? Is adding \\ in the label string actually enough?

Great! The issues are listed in more detail on the wiki page. I'm not going to have any time for that until tomorrow evening at best, so just go ahead and try to fix what you can. I hope you'll understand what I mean. 
Code-wise I think connecting the "Edit" button is the most interesting/difficult part. I was wondering how to synchronise selections in the contents tab and the edit dialog (in "edit multiple" version as soon as more than one object is selected) of the corresponding objects, e.g. curves. Is it possible to share the same QItemSelectionModel?

None that I know of, even though I believe it's easy to crash kst when using the "clear session" menu and continuing to work. But I still have to report a reproducible bug...
