Nothing to do with dom to text conversion. Sounds like for some reason someone is doing url escaping on the file name. Law?

janc, d'you see this on other platforms (mac, linux), or is it only winNT?

This is likely occurring on all platforms. The method used to get the filename from the URL escapes the name and there's no way to avoid that with that particular method. However, there are other methods that enable one to pull out the pieces of the name unescaped and put them together to come up with the full name+extension. I'll give that a try.
I found an easier fix. I just use nsUnescape() from nsEscape.h.
