I did at least seven years ago. I shall see if I can find the reference 
in my old notebooks tomorrow. Unfortunately one has gone missing so I 
might not have the reference.

I do however wonder if the newlines really are newlines and not some UTF 
multibyte character that looks like a newline when you parse it as 
ASCII/ISO-8859-1 or some other legacy encoding?

In my experience you have to try really really hard to actually get a 
newline into a file name. Mostly because the GUI will interpret pressing 
the return/enter key to think you have finished typing the file name 
rather than inserting a newline into the file name.
