Ok, it seems you can escape the special characters in the filenames and after testing Vortex seems to parse it correctly. So an update is up. More work will be needed on the info in the FOMOD as to what files each patch is looking for.
The problem with that is every patch ends up with a download prompt listing the sum total of all requirements across the files. Even though no single patch may have all those requirements. Thus putting users off from downloading because they erroneously think they don't have the requirement, or they install an unnecessary mod:)
Ah sure, that would probably help with reducing the number of pebkac comments too, though I remember seeing some mods that don't have requirement downloads for their optional/misc files. Not sure if that was a manual change or if it is something exclusive to optional/misc files

edit: no, it's ampersand characters in the xml, since they are part of the filenames for dependencies... hmmm
