This is a major design failure. Telling you "something" is wrong, then
not qualifying what it was exactly is a fault. Secondly, you should be
informed beforehand that certain characters are disallowed. IIWY, I'd
file a bug report.
As an aside, it annoys me that errors are still often just quoted as
numeric (error 504 for example). That was fine when memory was
expensive and software came with manuals (paper=cheap) that you could
look up the codes in. These days, without manuals, and memory being as
cheap as it is, human readable^Wunderstandable error strings should be
reported.
I know it's often possible to search the WWW for them, but if the error
means you can't get online......
