In my book, moving to a beta product or not accepting what is a vaild filename according to the filesystem is a limitation of the program. Not ConTeXt or TeX defines what a valid filename is, the OS decides. I do not decide what the names of these files are, someone else produces them, and my work flow should be able to handle all valid filenames. I assume then the answer is no? (Con)TeX(t) can't handle this?

(Con)TeX(t) can't handle this? kpathsea can't handle files with $ signs in them, unless the $ starts a variable it knows about (and that, it will expand).
