Alexis you need to elaborate a bit on this.
Where does this happen, what are the consequences ?

It happens when writing json from the agent (into a file or string), and leads to invalid json content.

It may only happen in some cases, here it was with a variable defined from a command output in CFEngine 3.6.5.
