There are a few characters that are legal in a Windows path but not in a URI path. %
is the most obvious one, but there's also #
. There may be others, depending on how strict the parser is. I would also have expected non-ascii characters to be escaped to avoid issues with different code pages.
Yup, it supports that fine. Although I didn't create these directories.

If it wasn't you, there's a strong indication that your cat may have been responsible.

As noted on the main ticket, we can use
[system.uri]
in PowerShell to deal with escaping for us. I'm not sure if we can say "Just generate a legacy filesystem path URL" or if we have to feed it something like[system.url](file://${env:COMPUTERNAME}/$p.ProviderPath)
, but either way escaping is not our problem.
