I really can't think of any situation where one would want newlines in their
filenames when pasting. The filesystem does allow for it as you said, and so
that's probably why other GUI programs let you keep them. It might make sense
to have a checkbox option to allow newlines in filenames when renaming, with
the default being disabled, if the current behaviour makes sense for some
users. But I think most users would not want to keep the newlines.
