Can't require image with spaces, etc. in filename

Hi folks, I'm getting the same error seen in this very old RN issue:

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/10364

Here is the stacktrace that shows this is ocurring in Assets.js

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/Users/andrew/Work/Code/projects/Failure/Mobile/ReactNative/failure/.%2Fassets%2Fimages'
    at Object.readdir (node:internal/fs/promises:956:18)
    at getAbsoluteAssetRecord (/Users/andrew/Work/Code/projects/Failure/Mobile/ReactNative/failure/node_modules/@expo/metro/node_modules/metro/src/Assets.js:114:17)
    at getAsset (/Users/andrew/Work/Code/projects/Failure/Mobile/ReactNative/failure/node_modules/@expo/metro/node_modules/metro/src/Assets.js:224:18)

I've confirmed that the file name had a space in it; when I renamed it to not have a space, it works just fine. Strangely, this did not happen in 0.79 of React Native; I recently upgraded to 0.81 of RN, and this happened. Though it says it's expo related, when forking this repo, the node_module file for Assets.js was the same as here, so I assume it's the correct repo.

Start in metro/src/Assets.js at getAbsoluteAssetRecord and getAsset, using the reported stack trace as the entry point. Reproduce the asset request with a filename containing spaces under React Native 0.81 and compare behavior with 0.79. Done means the asset loads without the ENOENT path containing encoded filename characters.
