In 10.1.3/1.8.1 I cannot type a slash in the name field at all, I get an error beep when I try. And pasting in a name containing one results in it's being converted to a dash.
I'm amazed at the rapidity of improvements and bug fixes being applied to OS X.

Colons are not allowed in file names.

Make yourself a small script, and save it as a stay open app. Call it "Colon
here/ please". Double-click on it in X, and then move your cursor over its
icon in the Dock.

;-)

What does that do?

It shows a file name of "Colon here: please".
