I'm sorry, but I don't see a problem with these filenames on Samba:

  $ touch a.b.
  $ ls -l 
  [...]
  -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen       0 2010-04-07 10:36 AB2F49~0
  $ ls -l a.b.
  -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen       0 2010-04-07 10:36 a.b.
  $ rm a.b.
  $ touch "abc "
  $ ls -l
  [...]
  -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen       0 2010-04-07 10:40 AZIJUG~1
  $ ls -l "abc "
  -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen       0 2010-04-07 10:40 abc 
  $ rm "abc "

I also tested cvs, and it didn't complain about filenames with a
dot as the 9th char.
