Confirmed as regression to 2.0.x. Please can you create bug and
attach the file there so it's not forgotten?
If you look at View> Source, you can see that the label, eq:Def[a], is
being output as:
\label{eq:Def=00005Ba=00005D}
So it looks as they certain characters are being escaped here.
Intentionally? The same happens with all other labels.
This does look to be intentional. (It's part of Jurgen's rewrite of the
argument stuff.) Because the argument to the label is specified (at
InsetLabel::findInfo) as to be escaped, it is passed through the
escape() function in InsetCommandParams. All the characters that could
potentially cause problems for LaTeX are escaped there. We did not use
to escape [ and ], but 0062538a added several potentially problematic
characters.
It was presumably not intended that this would be visible to the user,
but it is visible in math preview. I'm not sure if anything can be done
about that.
