I think we should *not* fix it anywhere. It's a wild goose chase,
because ultimately, it's the filesystem who knows what a valid
filename is and what is not. I don't see anything wrong with the user
getting an error message when the filename is not valid: he's won't
lose data, just retry with another name.
