Inside the CHANGES file from a more recent mrtg:

1/ If there is a ' in an external target description (within `),
   mrtg dies with eval problems.  (I needed ' to protect spaces).
   This comes from a substitution in the target, which tries to convert
   the target in a perl string, quoted with '. Therefore a ' in the target
   causes a badly quoted string.

Perhaps upgrading will solve your problems?
