I reported this problem about 2 years ago when I was editing files I had
FTP'ed from our Unisys 1100 mainframe.  It was promptly fixed; simply
type two $ characters to escape it.  In fact, filename completion will do
this for you.

I was impressed; the fix was done less than 3 days after I reported it.
