That's useless, the filename could just as easily be
"foo;cd ..;cd ..;cd ..;cd ..;cd ..;cd ..;cd etc;echo '...' >>passwd;baz"
But, I wouldn't worry about this mind of nonsense, as long as creating the
file itself does no harm, worrying about what other (broken) applications
might do with "unusual" file names is way out of scope.
