Yes, you would.

thisform.label1.Caption = " ="

A leftmost = in the Caption tells VFP to evaluate the following expression, e.g.

** label1.init()
Local lcx
lcx="hello"
this.Caption = "=lcx"

The label caption will be hello. If the space was in front, e.g., this.Caption = " =lcx", you'd see =lcx when the form runs.

So if there's only an =, then it tries to evaluate nothing, which throws the error, so in the Properties window, it would be
=" ="
and in code, it would be
this.Caption = " ="
