In case anyone is interested, there's a workaround: it's possible to
edit the file that contains the external tool. On gedit3 user generated
external tools are stored in ~/.config/gedit/tools There you can change
the name of the file and, more importantly, change the name of the
external tool. To do that simple open the file and edit the line that
says '# Name=New Tool' by putting the name of your choice.

Sorry if this is not the place to post this information, but I thought
someone who stumbled upon this bug might find it useful.
