I don't think it's as simple as that.  There are no "special" characters
used in file names in this tree.  All the base file names represent the
names of Java classes.  It seems like it's making an unexpected decision
based on the links it's finding in the HTML files.

For instance, one of the produced file names
"address@hidden" appears to be
produced by this request:

I don't know why the request has a query parameter.

What's even more curious is that earlier in the wget output, I note the
request for a similar file:

-------------

Note that both of these requests produce a file name ending with
"BcpDBCopier.html", but the latter is in the directory I expect, and the
other is with the weird name in the root directory.  These two files are
different.  The funny-named one is pretty short, and uses framesets.
The normal looking one is longer, and looks like the expected javadoc
for the class.
