I still say only those characters used for other purposes are a problem because the others tools do not care about. Then entering attribute values in gschem by copy values to pass except and if " is used as delimiter it must be properly escaped before stored in file.

If gnetlist find a character value in net name with other purposes for example a character used as delimiter in netlist it must be handled in some way. I guess what is needed is proper handling of all characters with other purposes in netlist.

By this point we have forgotten crash only happens for net names with import schematic in pcb while it work then running manually.
