How were you making the query? I can hit http://examples.cloudant.com/animaldb/_design/views101/_view/latin_name?key="Meles meles" fine, for instance.

I run debian unstable from the terminal window with couchdb 1.20 from 
the unstable repository - is it swallowing quotes ?  I have no idea.  re 
cloudant experience - maybe that's a different couch build

the original json file that was loaded had "username":"jdoe",

as I understand, JSON should have double quotes
