...and Windows isn't the only operating system on which we run, and isn't even
the only operating system that might not support arbitrary strings of octets
(except for 0x00, a/k/a '\0', and 0x24, a/k/a '/') in file names - HFS+ on OS
X, for example, only supports Unicode file names (passed in as UTF-8), although
it doesn't object to any ASCII characters other than NUL and '/'.

I suppose we could, for example, percent-escape all octets in the file names
other than a limited set of printable ASCII characters, e.g. A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and
period.

That doesn't explain why we got a Spinning Donut Of Death or why the error
message was not very good.
