The bug seems to have been fixed already, still, if you are interested:

The exact steps can be found to the forum thread linked in the original
report. For brevity, here's a quotation:

---
I dragged a copy of the terminal icon (gnome-terminal) from the Applications 
menu, onto the panel at the top. I am using it to open an ssh session to 
another computer automatically with

gnome-terminal -e "ssh -Y etc...

and that works, but I wanted to rename it. I change it's name and comment in 
properties, but it just keeps reverting back to the original name and comment. 
I have other launch icons on the panel, like one for Thunderbird email client, 
and those can be renamed.
---

Additionally, I also tired to create a fresh launcher (from the scratch)
but the name would not change either.

I assume at that date I was using ubuntu feisty 64bit already (otherwise
ubuntu edgy 32). I don't know about other users reporting the bug.
However, I tried now to repeat the behaviour described, and I couldn't
replicate it anymore. I assume it might have been fixed by some upgrades
between the bug report and now.
