You're the first to report it.  And yes, it's a bug.

You might try the following fix, in local/config.php:


  $MakePageNamePatterns = array(
    "/[?#].*$/", => '',                    # strip everything after ? or #
    "/'/" => '',                           # strip single-quotes
    "/[^$PageNameChars]+/" => ' ',         # convert everything else to space
    "/((^|[^-\\w])\\w)/e" => "strtoupper('$1')",
    "/ /" => '');

If this solves the problem, it'll likely be adopted into the core.

I'm also thinking of moving the !Category conversion syntax into
MakePageName(), which would solve a number of issues in trails
and a few other places.  For example, the following would then
work to find all pages in the XYZ category:

    (:pagelist link=!XYZ:)
