What is your reasoning for throwing an error on the request? It seems that 
Trac handles the case without any issue and nothing breaks when uploading a 
file with a newline in the filename; it's such an odd scenario that I can't 
see the need to add any special handling for it in the codebase. I might 
feel differently if Trac couldn't handle the file.
