Aren't the key chain names just a 'label' on the local router. basically a description to use to identify one or more keys which are identified by a number and which themselves need to have a key-string associated with them for the actual authentication? But, since the 'label' isn't sent, it shouldn't make any difference what the name is. I think the problem with the space is just a problem with IOS processing that space correctly and not really relevant, but it'll be interesting to see what you find out. Your not losing your mind, but your comparing two chain names that I don't believe need to be compared or be the same.
