The manual says that brackets are special in file names; you should quote
such names with a "/:". See the node Quoted File Names in the manual.
The only bug is in Dired, which should supply the quoting automatically
when you press `e'. This is probably not easy, given that there are
files where the file name is followed by more characters (e.g. symlinks),
but I'll look into it.
