Severity: normal
Apparently kvm cannot handle CD images with odd names.
While I don't insist that such image names should work it points at some
bug in argument handling which is something to be avoided.
..
The way to use "interesting" filenames do exist now. I don't know
when exactly it has been introduced, but it sure exists in bookworm
version.
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file.filename=a:b:c,,d,,e,media=cdrom ..
When used with -cdrom (or -hda etc) shortcuts it doesn't work, one
have to use more advance -drive argument. Not as -drive file=filename
again, since colons (:) are interpreted as protocol delimiters, but
as file.filename=filename.
Commas still needs to be escaped.
Closing this bug report now.
