I spent way too long trying to figure this out.

Research direction
Start in bedevere/news.py at the linked lines 59 and 73-80, and trace the filename validation used when a news entry moves categories. Reproduce the move and identify why the existing filename check reports an incorrectly formatted name; done means a valid category move no longer produces that error.
