People should not use a non-compliant file system driver to create corrupted entries. NTFS mounts are for windows machines only.

What exactly makes a FS driver compliant or non-compliant? Is there a NTFS compliance test suite, that we can run against specific implementations?

If there isn't, accusations of non-compliance are just FUD.

This is not a bug in either, it's a configuration defect. NTFS-3g used with the correct options, namely windows_names, works exactly as expected, but is then not POSIX compliant anymore.
