No, it should not error out at the point where it does not. At the moment, you
get the uninformative "unknown-warning" message before you get to the
"Describe" screen, where you'd get a chance to select the file name on the
server. The Upload Wizard should not care what the file is called on the
uploader's computer.

Pretty sure all browsers are affected. We have reports from users of Opera,
Safari and Firefox on Commons:Upload Wizard feedback, and I've confirmed it
myself on Chromium.

I don't know what the severity definitions for this Bugzilla are, but it's
serious enough that if this isn't fixed within the next couple of days, we'll
probably have to look at changing the upload link to point to the old upload
form again. When the process fails with an utterly unhelpful error message for
a common use case, who knows how many contributions we're turning down a day?
I'm counting 11 reports on Commons:Upload Wizard feedback in the last five days
alone. And that's only from people who spotted the small feedback link and
bothered to tell us. Most people probably don't.
