thank you for that ... it makes sense. For the JCR API, it should be:
file = folder.addNode(
org.apache.jackrabbit.util.Text.escapeIllegalJcrChars("[Content_Types].xml")
, JcrConstants.NT_FILE);
// which becomes "%5BContent_Types%5D.xml"
I would have expected the WebDAV servlet to be doing the same - [ and
] are (arguably) valid chars for use in a filename (on windows, but I
believe *nix as well).
From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177506, a filename can't contain
\ / : * ? " < > | ... (and square brackets are included in the list of
special characters allowed in filenames).
the issue for the WebDAV servlet is it's presenting a folders and
files view of the underlying JCR store. It could handle the
escaping/unescaping JCR-illegal characters (assuming the webdav client
has correctly URI encoded the request - which is the case in my test).
It's actually only [ and ] that seem to fall into the non-JCR name
category but (arguably) valid filename category.
in the webdav server code there is interface called ResourceLocator
that handles the mapping vom DAV resource path to JCR repository
path back. you may use a custom implementation that does the escaping
according to your needs [see also JCR-184].

I believe that square brackets are used in JCR paths to address multivalued
properties and same name siblings.
Same name siblings only. You can't directly access a value in a
multivalue property, only the property itself.
I don't know about a "standard" way to escape them, but, if I understand your
scenario, you may choose your own "escape" sequence, provided that you restore
the original filename when returning it to the user/client.
Just to complete the discussion, here is the specification (identical
for JCR 1.0 and 2.0):
Illegal characters for node names:
http://www.day.com/specs/jcr/2.0/3_Repository_Model.html#NamingRestrictions
And the escaping rules:
http://www.day.com/specs/jcr/2.0/3_Repository_Model.html#ExposingNonJCRNames
which are implemented by Text.escapeIllegalJcrChars(String), as
mentioned already.
