Is this a known bug in moc?

If at all then not in moc but rather in QMetaObject::normalizedSignature(). But in general this should work, maybe the problem is somewhere else?

If it's known - that I do not know but you can check that yourself using the task-tracker.

Yep.

It should work but it doesn't work. We have two identical (from C++ pov) signatures and one is treated differently by moc than the other. Isn't this clearly a bug?
What do you mean by maybe the problem is somewhere else?

There were a couple of tickets about moc and signatures, all fixed.
I created a ticket for this.

The documentation gives an example almost identical to yours (it uses a pointer and not a reference), so I assume they checked that it works. You might check if changing the reference to a pointer makes it work.

In some other part of the code or because of some non-printable character. I'm just guessing, it's simply hard to believe the example from the docs doesn't work.

But moc has nothing to do with this...

What I presented in my op is not the example from the docs but my code. I only copied and pasted signal declaration directly from the docs to show it's part of qt and not mine.

In the most narrow sense moc is only a compiler but in a broader sense it's name of whole concept, system (name it as you like) which this compiler is only one part of. When using moc in the second sense QMetaObject::normalizedSignature() is vital part of moc.
On the other hand, if we agree moc is only a compiler than how should we call the whole system of meta information in qt?
