There's nothing in the help file for filename formatting since this has never actually come up until now. There is a dialog that pops up if you create a new table through the TS UI and use characters other alphanumeric: "Table names may only contain letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z'), numbers (0-9), space, or underscore('_')." And the help file does specify that groups should follow that naming format, though I realize that it doesn't mention filenames. Additionally, most people are going to create tables outside of the TS UI and copy them to the table folders, so likely they wouldn't see that error dialog.
I haven't decided how the help for v6 will be stored but I'll make a note to mention file naming conventions.

Using parentheses to pass parameters is described in "Passing Parameters
to Tables" in the help file. Other than that, I'm not aware of anything
else in the help file, other than a warning about sticking to
alphanumerics (i.e.; letters and numbers) and underscores ("_") in group
names (under "Groups" in the help file).
It is only a guess on my part that the first set of parentheses in the
middle of a table filename are being interpreted as passing parameters
rather than as part of the filename.
