Bummer, this looks like a bug. I'll go ahead and file it.
As a workaround you should be able to specify the whole value as a binding
expression and just do the string concatenation yourself:
E.g.,
<mx:Label text="{'label: ' + l.selectedItem.label + ', data \'' +
l.selectedItem.data + '\', index ' + l.selectedIndex}" />

Subject: [flexcoders] Single quotes affect data binding
I have some weird effects when mixing static data with dynamic content.
I have some dynamic data that has to have quotes around it.
Unfortunately, placing quotes around a data binding expression is not
working properly and bindings no longer get executed correctly. There
seems also no way to "protect" a single quote from parsing by writing \'
instead. Sample below.
