oh, and the workaround so far is that you can set a label without spaces via a message to access the properties windows back in the meantime ;)
Another workaround to consider is to replace a normal space with a non-breaking space (ASCII 160)
as a matter of fact there are several characters that are problematic for Tcl/Tk related objects (such as all vanilla GUI objects but also externals like "menubutton" etc.) and will produce an error message when you save/reopen a patch or try to edit it's properties.
as a personal "helper" i made myself a "TCL/TK save" patch to throw in before creating a label for a GUI, that exchanges all of those problematic characters with save ones. (see attachemnt).
of course this is only good for optical usecases (as it actually would also alter filenames etc.). it's really just a workaround and doesn't solve the underlying problem with Tcl/Tk
