How have you setup the password? I have suspicion that problem is in NetworkManager, but it seems to escape all problematic chars.
not really sure how to properly describe where in the UI I am inputing the password. gnome fall back ui. using the wireless icon next to my user name in the upper right. click on wireless icon->connect to hidden wireless network-> new SSID-Name wireless security-> wpa & wpa2- personal. applogies for my tardiness in updating the bz.
As I know initscripts are only reading this file, so if you didn't edit it manually, this should be caused by NetworkManager.
NetworkManager qouted the password (WPA_PSK), but double quotes was not enough to prevent bash from breaking on strings containing special characters. A fix has been pushed upstream: 79757f10f30885d436f4c5cf528cb0bd4e0acafb
