Please report that.  Sure sounds like a bug to me.

Could be that the documentation needs a little beefing up there.  The
whole purpose of the Object Name is to be an identifier with which you
can refer to this file type in code.  Thus, it has the same
restrictions as any other identifier (class name, property name, method
name, etc.): It must start with a letter, and contain only letters,
numbers, and underscores.

So I'd suggest filing a feature request against the docs here.

Well, this is actually a pretty decent error message -- it's pointing
you right to the place causing the syntax error.  But even better would
be for the File Type Editor to reject or correct (by stripping out
unacceptable characters) your entry right away.  Another good feature
request, perhaps.

Best,
