Oh, and for the record, I've just tried adding a Milestone without spaces in its name (I added "Release_Edition_5.6") and after adding that, I was able to edit it without any problem. So it's definitely the spaces that are the issue!
Noting that the database stores the records with spaces rather than the URL-encoding, presumable at some point in the "Edit" sequence, the URL-encoding is decoded back to normal ASCII. Might I be able to get greater visibility of what's going on at that level by cranking up the logging?
