I can confirm that this is a problem.  There appears to be 
confusion about whether or not file names should be subjected to 
vis/unvis encoding.

"./bin/[" appears in the set lists and METALOG, as 
expected, but the "${MTREE} -CS ..." command in line 180 of 
src/distrib/sets/maketars changes it to "./bin/\133", and then the 
"${PAX} -dOw ..." command in line 199 fails to add the file to 
base.tgz, and it also doesn't print an error message about failure 
to add the file.
