OK, thanks. So the problem lies in the midi generator then rather than
in the converter (the other question is whether the midi2ly converter
should also do some cleanup in such cases).

It's also worth noting that QuickTime Player 7 always shows super
weird file names when playing midi files. Maybe this was the reason.
