If this IS a case where the title of a channel is used as a SharePoint folder, I’m surprised there isn’t some standard way to escape specifically these strings? I know it would break compatibility for applications that rely on these magic device files, but SharePoint should NEVER actually want to speak to COM1. Weird to me it isn’t handled already in SharePoint!

SharePoint can sync with your filesystem on Windows, and Windows/Win32 doesn't support those names for backwards compatibility.
