I'd rather see the test actually try to create a funny-named testfile and see if it managed to create it, so that it can be skipped on non DOS systems that mounted DOS filesystem.

So instead I would do something like this:
---
diff --git a/t/t3300-funny-names.sh b/t/t3300-funny-names.sh
index 6a85d67..b1a86db 100755
