There is an easy fix documented in the Endnote Manual.  If a string would
conflict with a field name, then the string should be enclosed with
backquote characters.  I used this to good effect in building a style
to be read by Framemaker in the Framemaker MML format.

One should very carefully read the chapter on reference styles before 
attempting to construct one.  There are some cute tricks one can play
with conditionally including fields in the export file.

On the face of it, a BibTex generator should be relatively easy. But
that's always an easy thing to say....
