>From your link: "[...] all characters are allowed except '/' and '\0'.
This is perfectly legal on Windows, though some application may get
confused.".

"Perfectly legal" is stupidly false. Just try to create a file with "?"
for example, and Windows ITSELF will deny it, saying that you CAN'T give
a file name with characters \/:*?"<>|. When you find a file with these
chars, created on Ubuntu, Windows ITSELF can't rename it. In general, it
means problems.

Actually I'm not aware about what package is "affected", maybe it's not
ntfs-3g according to my suggestion that is not about denying but
warning, and having a tool to help about it.
