MDL-2307 Special characters left in filenames after unzipping
If you unzip a folder containing files with special characters, those files become uneditable and unmoveable via the web browser; the only way to get rid of them is through the command line. This is because Moodle is not escaping the file names when they are created (as it does with single file uploads); instead of replacing the special characters with placeholders, the files get created with the bad characters.
A full rundown and a patch is available in Google tracker; hat tip to Charles Fulton for taking the time to debug this.
