Well, caution is always a good thing :-)

At first, we could start by just displaying the hex bytes and not allow renaming. BTW, on my PC I already have stuff like this, courtesy of MS:

I know that these are treated as some special system f*ders, but that's not the point. If something similar is displayed by ZTree it would just look like a standard way of handling special dir/file names, not a shortcoming.
