Moreover, I experimented by adding a new random file from my computer, which was also given a "../" before the file name, so that suggests a Calibre default.

As the EPUB has not been flagged by any other aggregator, and the file naming is consistent within the EPUB (as visible using Calibre), I wonder if the Smashwords quality check (presumably AI-based) just doesn't know what to do with the "../". Judging by their website interface for authors, perhaps they are using an older framework for checking EPUB files. Unless I am missing something.
Here's what you can do to find out just where in the ePub your images are. Add .zip to the end of the ePub's filename. Then open it with whatever you use to handle ZIP files. Have a look and see where the images are in relation to the HTML and once you've figured this out, rename the ePub again removing the .zip. Then you can edit it and fix the image links.
