This is not a problem as long as you are parsing the fix message correctly. Remember that the syntax of a fix unit is [TAG]=[VALUE](SOH). Any '=' characters between the first delimiting '=' character and the SOH character should be considered part of the value.
Things get a bit more complicated with special tags like RawData and EncodedText field, but this isn't a concern for tag 58.
