Take a level, any level. I chose EconomicDivide.
Copy it to MyLevel. Replace all _ECONOMICDIVIDE_ variables with _MYLEVEL_ (except text keys, unless you're also editing text.xml).
Launch "WorldOfGoo.exe MyLevel".
It goes through the loading sequence fine, and displays the intro title page (testing 1 2 3) fine, but once it tries to display the level it crashes.
Rename MyLevel back to EconomicDivide, and run "WorldOfGoo.exe EconomicDivide" and it runs fine, even though the references inside the level are all _MYLEVEL_. This indicates it's not the actual files that are bad, it's something about the directory name.
I thought it might be something to do with it not having an island.xml entry to lookup OCD requirements, but I tried adding one and it didn't help. I can't see any other references to EconomicDivide in the XML files, so I tried a simple "strings WorldOfGoo.exe | grep Econom" to see if it was hardwired in the code, but I didn't find anything there either.
Has anyone successfully launched a *new* level?
Here's the error when launching a custom level (version 1.20):

Yes, it works great for me.
Did you remember to rename the level name reference in the scene file ?
See Soultaker procedure (just skip the island stuff and follow the level name stuff):

Yeah. I think it's because I was manually editing a version of text.xml from an old version (had no internet). I'm auto-merging it with GooTool now and it's working fine.
Still, would be nice to get some logging so we can find out the reason for crashes (missing resource or whatever).
