CPT slug crashes a query because it has the word 'for' in it?

See my WP support forum post below

​http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpt-slug-crashing-my-template-because-it-has-the-word-for-in-it?replies=1

Basically, in the code i provided if the word "for" is part of a CPT slug and separated by hyphens (property-for-sale) then the word "for" is picked up as php code and screws up the query. Notepad++ also picks it up as php.

I know very little about php but I think i'm on to something here.

it is fixed if the slug is bracketed by a '

e.g.
'post_type' => property-something-sale, works ?why

'post_type' => property-for-sale, crashes

'post_type' => 'property-for-sale', works
