OK :(
But, is it possible to check this and say to the user that those characters are not allowed?

The problem is, my users can ask for a snapshot and give a name with a special character. Then they get the error. But, their initial VMs stay in the "Image Snapshot" status. No way to make a new snapshot or even to reboot them.

The solution I found is to ask to the user if it's possible to terminate it's instance (but generaly, when he/she wants to make a snapshot, he/she doesn't want to terminate the instance before the snapshot is taken :), or, the second solution I found is to updade the nova database manually. In all cases those solutions are not very cleaned...
