weird indeed, are you searching for the limits of tex/context/your-os?
file name and context doesn't seem to enjoy it much:
 

i only enjoy names that match [a-z0-9\-]
% mkdir {test}
% cd {test}
% mkdir output
% touch a.tex && ed a.tex

You can put this somewhere (cont-loc.tex or so) since i'm not that sure 
if it does not interfere, so i (and others) need to test this for a long 
time

[NTG-context] { in input file names

[Nikolai Weibull]

Hi.
Another one of my sort of weird questions.  I have a file with { in it's
