Tested with build 671:
- Create a new folder called "2014/2015"
Result: A folder "2015" is created.
- Try to rename the folder "2015"
Result: Error message "The file/folder name is not valid: d:\test\whatever\2014/2015".
Windows Explorer behaviour (Win 7) is to not allow some characters including the slash. Explorer shows the invalid characters in a balloon help. IMHO FC should show the same info.

Re: Creating folders using invalid characters
Confirmed, it's a bug.- Create a new folder called "2014/2015"
Result: A folder "2015" is created.
Can't confirm.- Try to rename the folder "2015"
Result: Error message "The file/folder name is not valid: d:\test\whatever\2014/2015".
FYI - FC has a feature, when you type e.g. "2014\2015" in the new folder dialog - folder "2014" is created and another folder "2015" inside that folder, it's useful, backslash is used to create subdirectories, but when using forward slash, it should not be allowed and it's a bug IMO.
FC 671, Win Vista 32 bit.
Re: Creating folders using invalid characters
With FC 672, using a slash leads to a folder and a subfolder being created. Same way what happens when using a backslash.
Not sure if this shouldn´t instead throw a warning like renaming does, but I also guess this could be handy for someone.
