yes, the error message looks like it is caused through problem with
quotation marks.

This bug does not occur with dialog 1.1-20080316-1 which is currently in
testing but it is reproducible with dialog 1.1-20080727-1 which is
currently in unstable, so I guess it is a bug in dialog

I will file an additional bug against dialog after I created a minimized
test case which might take some time.  I will not close or reassign this
bug since I want people to see this bug before they submit an additional
bug report against deborphan.

Mixing stable and unstable isn't a very good idea.  Mixing testing, unstable
and maybe even experimental _OR_ stable and backports.org is normally
a better choice when you feel the need to mix something.
