East-Saskatchewan. And there are more, but i simply did

Or are you actually going for portable filename limits here. It's a bit late for that, is it.
East-Saskatchewan is in ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/backward "Canada/East-Saskatchewan"
which is not a valid name for a zone according to the current Theory file.
Changing the backward entries to conform to the naming rule would do more harm than good! Maybe that is the reason why I do not see any proposal to change the backward entries.
