Well yes, the key is corrupted. It has been modified by the user and is
no longer usable, just as if he had changed part of the actual CHK.

Workarounds are of course possible if I implement the list-manifest
command. It would even be possible for the node to detect that there is
only one element in the manifest and redirect to that. That's a hack,
but only a very small one.

But as you pointed out, the big picture is not back compatibility, it's
what we want to do normally.

Do I have your full support for forcing keys to be fetched exactly as
inserted? I.e. if a key is inserted as a pure CHK, and then fetched with
a bogus filename, Fred will return an error including a URI with the
bogus filename stripped?
