Hmmm, this doesn't look like a bug to me. You are using a special character
in a directoryname. Those characters aren't allowed. Why would you
want to name a directory test| ?!? This way you can't use the pipe
on the command line anymore (only with lot's of quotes all the time).

# cat test|/somefile
cat: test: No such file or directory
bash: /somefile: No such file or directory

PS. Yes, I was stupid enough to try this out :-P, I actually created
    a dir named 'test|' and created a file 'somefile' in it.
