Traditionaly the Drupal interface uses <xxxx> in menu paths when referring to special items. That's the case with <front>. Some modules that provide special paths also work this ways (example: Menu First Child).
Using <xxxx> has some advantages:
So I think it would be good if the module used <xxxx> instead of plain xxxx.
Sorry for not providing a patch, but I'm just too busy now. I didn't look at the code yet, but I think that the change would be trivial. The biggest effort would be to create an upgrade procedure that change all e.g. "nolink" instances to "<nolink>" so that existing users can upgrade the module seamlessly.

Other modules and core already uses
<front>and<firstchild>so using f. ex.<nolink>would be more understandable as well as probably resolve different conflicts.Comment #2
gagarine commentedDone for the D7 version. I'm not going to do a back port. Patchs are welcome for D6 but should have a update path.
