This looks like a mount option is needed. Actually, FAT already has an
option "check={relaxed,normal,strict}".

For example, creation of these files could be enabled in case of
"check=relaxed" (the following is untested):

--- linux-2.6.16/fs/msdos/namei.c~	2006-03-20 12:32:03.000000000 +0100
+++ linux-2.6.16/fs/msdos/namei.c	2006-03-22 22:37:46.000000000 +0100

 	}
 	while (walk - res < MSDOS_NAME)
 		*walk++ = ' ';
-	if (!opts->atari)
+	if (!opts->atari && opts->name_check != 'r')
 		/* GEMDOS is less stupid and has no reserved names */
 		for (reserved = reserved_names; *reserved; reserved++)
 			if (!strncmp(res, *reserved, 8))

Cheers
