Comment(by utvikl):

 It would be interesting to do some grepping in a repository of plugins to
 see how many plugins is affected by this. The problem is that it's a
 regression and that it fails ungratefully and it will cause trouble for
 end users.

 The menu_slug is also not very well defined in the documentation so this
 should be improved.

 Other than that I agree that this should be fixed in the plugin, but I
 would consider grepping some plugin repository or at least give an
 grateful error to the end user. I guess there are even more chars than \s
 that could cause trouble. Chars like %, &, ? and / should not be in the
 menu_slug aswell?
