I dug into this and there are two bugs in pyxform that are causing problems in Collect.

  1. If you have a space or special character (e.g., quote marks) as the name/value of a select option, pyxform should warn you. In this case, it's not warning you because there is a choice_filter. That's a bug.
  2. In the case where you don't have a choice_filter, pyxform does warn, but it should instead throw an error and prevent the creation of the XML because if you have a space the value won't be saved (which to me is data loss that a user may not notice).

I have filed the issue at https://github.com/XLSForm/pyxform/issues/175. As a workaround, please remove the spaces from the name column in your choices sheet.
