I've been in touch with Scott about this via email and he felt that we might have a broader discussion here regarding vit's handling of quotes in task titles.

It seems that vit used to quote the entire title string, but that was removed to address [#114 | https://bug.tasktools.org/browse/VT-114] and [#111 | https://bug.tasktools.org/browse/VT-111].

I'm not sure what the best way to handle this is. As it stands I would be happy with a better error message, or better handling of the error message, but long-term I do think it would be great if vit could handle these cases without throwing an error.

Thanks for writing this up Larry. My idea is to have a .vitrc variable that contains the characters that the user wants to be escapted. For example, you could put a quote in there.

That's a novel solution. I can see myself using it, and maybe putting '!' in there along with quotes. :)
