This is non-obvious. Looks to me like it's libappindicator or some part of dbusmenu not playing well with whatever else might be doing the drawing of the menu on the screen -- nm-applet explicitly dropped escaping the SSIDs some time ago because it was being handled directly in some underlying library or libappindicator directly. There's evidence things work properly: the SSIDs are properly displayed on the main menu, they only get mangled as one moves to a submenu. Reassiging.
