Possible watchguard IpSec PSK bug??

Recently I came across a problem where myself and a collegue were trying to configure a site-to-site IpSec tunnel.
But for some reason the Watchguard X550e kept giving me a "psk mismatch" in the logs...
I'm 1000000% sure the key had been entered, re-entered and copy/pasted correctly.
The Key started with an $ after we chose another key, which did not have an $ in it, the tunnel built instantly. I notified watchguard about this, however they told me they could not reproduce the error...
Just so you know  ;-)
