Comment (by dd32):

 > I think we should just not let people use that char in there password if
 they are using setup-config.php instead.

 One possible source of such a legit character in the password may come
 from other applications which auto-generate a random password, doing so
 could lead to scenario's in which the user has to change their password in
 order to use setup-config.php
