I don't see how the daemon protocol you cited could fail, though, since it always sends the file names over the daemon protocol. For a non-daemon file request, the issue can be avoided by requesting the name with a dot-slash at the start (or using --protect-args in newer rsync versions). For instance: rsync -aiv localhost:./-fails /dest/ ..wayne..
