Patrice removed the files containing :'s (etc.) a few days ago. MediaWiki back end naming is tbd.

The NT POSIX subsystem (SUA) aka Interix can handle invalid file system characters to some extent by remapping them to other characters. But in this case there are multiple invalid characters in the filenames and therefore it fails. I believe the same is true for cygwin.

SUA is also case sensitive by default and can handle names like AbC, abC etc. But in general this is a bad idea. FreeBSD have had problems in SVN which effects Apple and Windows.

Eli Z is correct

The following characters cannot appear in Windows file names:

/ ? < > \ : * | ” and any character you can type with the Ctrl key.

In the mediawiki backend the file name is more or less the node name. I do not exactly know the reason of that design decision, my guess is that it eases importing in mediawiki (maybe setting the title?).

Do you have a list of all the invalid caracters in NTFS file names?
