[Linux] [regression] after upgrading to 3.00 files with names starting with a space can't be found

[ScumCoder]

What is the issue?

Some files in torrents that I downloaded (~decade ago) have names starting with a space.
I heard it's considered incorrect on some systems, but surely not on *n?x it isn't.
When I was on v2.x, the torrent worked fine.
After switching to 3.00, transmission-remote --torrent X --info shows Error: Please Verify Local Data! Piece #Y is corrupt.
After verifying, transmission-remote --torrent X --info-files shows files whose names start with a space without said space.
Obviously these files are marked as not downloaded ("Done: 0%"), since they can't be found on disk.

My hypothesis: there is a stray trim() or trimmed() somewhere and it's applied to the file name.

Which application of Transmission?

transmission-daemon

Which version of Transmission?

3.00 (bb6b5a0)
