Please not, it will make calling map votes harder if you'd never even SEE these cryptic bsp names.
No. Maps should simply not HAVE such cryptic names. Period.

1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again
You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

I have not read the entire thread.
Imho mappers are responsible for naming the maps they make. Cryptic names help no one map picture or no. Name your map by its full name + version and everyone knows whats going on.

Possibly not the worst mapper in the world.

And if you feel a need to abbreviate, keep them guessable, like:
eggandbacon -> eggnbacon
dieselpower -> dpower
minimans_kitchen -> mmkitch (possibly, better: mmankitch)
