I can't recall if it was fixed in latest ROMs, but I remember the worst offending case of illegal characters was lowercase letters.

:3:"lcase" STO

used to produce a SFN only (because the name fits in 8.3) but without changing the name to uppercase. Lowercase letters are illegal characters in SFN, those files couldn't be touched with a PC but could be deleted normally with the calc.

Just checked (on a freshly formatted SD card ). With ROM 2.15, created a file as described above, then transferred the card to my Win7 system. DIR/X shows a SFN of "LCASE", and I have no problem accessing the file. So it appears that has been fixed in the current ROM version.

But what you're describing seems to be a really good fit for the results I was seeing when I was experiencing problems with my "corrupted" file system on the card previously (with a couple wrinkles). It's almost as though the 50g had mucked something up on the card that was causing it to go back to its bad behavior.
