I can't find where this is mentioned in the docs, but historically there 
was a caution against using anything but alphanumeric ASCII characters 
for key names.

In my experience that's more strict than it needs to be, but if the 
format of encoded arrays is any clue there may still be a restriction on 
having NULL bytes in a key name.
