Minecraft pocket edition 0.11.1 player name unchangeable after trying to format text

What I expected to happen was...:
Formatted text

What actually happened was...:

Steps to Reproduce:
Change name using §l or any formatting. The §X will not delete making the max character limit exceed making the name blank permanently

The current temporary solution is to fix/replace your options.txt to correct the name or, if you can't do that, to uninstall and reinstall the app (this will not affect your singleplayer worlds, but you will have to reenter your servers). Please post any further comments on MCPE-8750 (which I've reopened) and vote for that issue to get it fixed sooner than other bugs.
