Version 9.4 createSessionToken Failure: Could not deserialize JSON Invalid State

Hi, When creating a package and calling the setName method with a string containing a period or dash the JSON response says deserialization failed, upon further inspection there were also code 400 "invalid state" messages included. How can we fix this? Are there any links to the 9.4 API or documentation? I was able to find 9.5 source code but not 9.4. Thanks.
