So it is invalid, which qualifies it as garbage.

See http://greenbytes.de/tech/tc2231/#attwithasciifilenamenqws for basically
the same example and how basically all browsers misbehave. Note the green line
of Konqueror. You could ask Julian if this shouldn't be a expected fallback
behaviour.

AFAICS they replaced spaces by underscores in the filenames, likely because
that caused some trouble. If you tell them that quoting solves more of their
problems maybe they will listen. Test it out.
