I don't think so, test it by turning it on/off.

couple of questions:

1. are single quotes really necessary in filenames?
2. is the original filename really that important to you?
3. does this happen on just one browser/[client]platform? it could be
a browser bug (i.e. it gets stripped on the clientside which would means thats
its nothing to do with a PHP bug/setting/feature/misunderstanding/etc)
