If I heard this 10+ years ago, I'd agree with you, but it's not acceptable now-a-days. I don't even remember the last time I had issues with using apostrophe's when naming files on any of the linux distro's I play around with.
I would expect this kind of bug from 1st year comp.sci students, not commercial, production level code.
EDIT: Just a note, the apostrophe is an
SPECIAL character in a linux shell, not the filesystem. Calling it illegal is not quite correct, and certainly wrong in terms of filenames.
