Default Excel Error Loading Custom UI XML

I tried to customize the Quick Access Toolbar for a workbook named 'fname_test.xlsm' by adding an icon that runs a macro (Macro1). When I close the workbook and reopen it, I get the following error. When I answer 'OK' to the message, the icon is not there. Any help would be appreciated:

Error found in Custom UI XML:

Error Loading Custom UI XML
Line 1:
Column: 480
Error Code 0x80004005
A name contained an invalid character.


Error parsing
‘fname_test.xlsm_Macro1’ as QName datatype.
The attribute ‘idQ’ with value
‘fname_test.xlsm_Macro1’ failed to parse.

I think this is related to KB969682. I would test by uninstalling this KB but the Control Panel doesn't list this patch as installed even though when I try to reinstall it, an error message says that it is already installed.

I am running Office 2003 and 2007 and have been doing so for years without problem.

I've attached a test workbook that shows the problem. Rename the extension to xlsm to run it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Default

More info. Here is the xml code being parsed:

<mso:customUI xmlns:doc="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/...urrentDocument" xmlns:mso="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/...ls><mso:button idQ="doc:test1_1" visible="true" label="test1" onAction="test1" imageMso="ListMacros"/><mso:button idQ="doc:test2_1" visible="true" label="test2" onAction="test2" imageMso="ListMacros"/><mso:button idQ="doc:C:_Users_ed_Desktop_test.xlsm_test3_1" visible="true" label="test3" onAction="C:\Users\ed\Desktop\test.xlsm!test3" imageMso="ListMacros"/></mso:documentControls></mso:qat></mso:ribbon></mso:customUI>

If I edit out the highlighted in red "C:_Users_ed_Desktop_test.xlsm_" and the "C:\Users\ed\Desktop\test.xlsm!" for macro test3 as I have already done for macros test1 and test2, the workbook opens without error and the QAT buttons are there and work.

For some reason, the "C:\..." location imformation is being generated and not being parsed correctly.
