I think I found a bug. Please share if you know more about it.

I use GetListItems operation to fetch items to display on an ajaxified form. Just an hour ago everything was fine, but now when I query the list with 

<Eq><FieldRef Name='Some/Field'><Value Type='Lookup'>Value</Value></Eq>

The relevant items show up in the result set. But the values for 'Some/Field' (yes there is a slash in the displayname) are displayed as null. The field was never renamed.

What is it? How can I fix?

Are you using SPServices or some other method? – Marc D Anderson May 27 '10 at 1:49
I spotted the error when I used SPServices and then confirmed using u2u CAML Query Builder – Alexey Krasheninnikov May 27 '10 at 5:08

If the display Name of your field contains a slash and never been modified then I believe you caml should look like this

<Eq><FieldRef Name='Some_x002f_Field'><Value Type='Lookup'>Value</Value></Eq>

Notice the encoded slash (_x002f_).

Actually, the slash is only in displayname. Iternal is all encoded as hell: _x0423__x0432..._x04 – Alexey Krasheninnikov Jun 3 '10 at 8:18
And of course that CAML query has the proper InternalName substituted - once by hand and once by u2uCamlQueryBuilder – Alexey Krasheninnikov Jun 3 '10 at 8:19
I have tried to recreate your problem but it seems to be working fine for me. Added a column with a slash and the only way that I got to fail is if don't encode the slash. You said that the internal is encoded but on you CAML query you are using the display ? you should be using the internal in stead. – Renzo Jun 3 '10 at 9:17
