    If I understand you correctly, the value of the var.Key you pass contains some special characters. I suppose you should enclose the $(var.Key) with quotes for this to be assumed a value, like this:

    <Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="CheckKey" Order="2"><![CDATA[Keytext <> "$(var.Key)"]]></Publish>
