 something that they wouldn't even interact with directly.  Why should any
 users care what the actual sanitized file name is, so long as they have
 the UI to locate it by an arbitrary title (such as in your examples)?

 oh, in the url, it's not much of a big deal. but when you use the file
 name as it's title (as I currently do in mediacaster), it makes all the
 difference in the world.

 my main interest in this ticket is I'd like to rewrite that plugin in such
 a way that it uses the WP uploader instead.
