I run into a similar problem frequently when saving downloads to my XFS samba
shares via a Windows client.  I don't recall ever seeing XFS corruption, but I
do have problems manipulating these file names through bash.  Quite often I
end up having to rename the files through Windows Explorer to something bash
can handle.  That usually fixes the problem--not always, but usually.

Just for comparison, I'm running:

Debian stable (Lenny 5.0.4)
rolled 2.6.32.9 from kernel.org, XFS in kernel not as module
xfsprogs:  2.9.8-1lenny1
bash:      3.2-4
samba:     3.2.5-4lenny9
W2K and XP Pro clients

As I've never seriously dealt with character encoding issues (i.e. changed
anything related in Debian), I don't even know where/how to find my servers
default character encoding.  Google isn't being very friendly here.  I'm using
whatever character encoding is the default for US English Debian Lenny.
