particle systems lose name after project save/re-load

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Create a particle system, name and save it  (I used the smoke stack template)

Save your project to a file

re-start the World Editor

Load that project

The particle system no longer has a name.

a previous save had this:
"id": 617,
"type": "hemi.effect.Emitter",
"props": [{
  "name": "name",
  "val": "greenSmoke"

Whereas now a saved particle system looks like this:
"id": 64,
"type": "hemi.effect.Emitter",
"props": [{
   "name": "state",
   "val": 0

Interestingly,  this behavior is linked to the values input for the particle 
system.  Use the following values and you'll see this behavior with the name 
disappearing.  (don't copy/paste this in, as this system is already missing its 
name prop.

        {
        "id": 64,
        "type": "hemi.effect.Emitter",
        "props": [{
            "name": "state",
            "val": 0
        }, {
            "name": "colorRamp",
            "val": [0.26, 0.91, 0.27, 0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0]
        }, {
            "name": "params",
            "val": {
                "numParticles": 30,
                "position": [0.194, 1.706, -4.334],
                "positionRange": [0, 0, 0],
                "timeRange": 0.5,
                "lifeTime": 1,
                "startSize": 0.03,
                "startSizeRange": 0,
                "endSize": 0.2,
                "endSizeRange": 0,
                "velocity": [0.11, 0.16, -0.15],
                "velocityRange": [0.02, 0.02, 0.02],
                "acceleration": [0, -0.02, 0],
                "spinSpeedRange": 4,
                "accelerationRange": [0, 0, 0]
            }
        }, {
            "name": "setup",
            "arg": []
        }

Another way to reproduce the same effect is change the "Select State" to 
"Select State" and save.

I cannot reproduce the described behavior except by my earlier comment. It 
appears somehow the name vanished in the json and the state property key was 
elevated to the name value. Lowering the priority for now.

• Added labels: Priority-Low

This needs review to see if it is still valid for Kuda2. These need to be 
retested and opened as needed. On hold for now until that happens. Commend as 
needed.

• Changed state: Hold
• Added labels: Type-Other

Fixed in Kuda2 update.
