No, it should not.  There is a gap in sequence (0, 1, -- missing 2 --, 3),
which is expressly prohibited by rfc 2231, so MU does right when
returning error in this case.

OK

There is no such parameter in Content-Disposition header.  Says RFC
2183, section 2:

   disposition := "Content-Disposition" ":"
                   disposition-type
                   *(";" disposition-parm)
   disposition-type := "inline"
                        / "attachment"
                        / extension-token 

   disposition-parm := filename-parm
                       ....

   filename-parm := "filename" "=" value

You see, it is "filename" not "name", that has special meaning.

In my opinion, that's right.  I may be too purist about reading the RFCs,
but neither RFC 2045 nor 2183 seem to indicate that any whitespace
characters are allowed around the '='.  Let me know if you find any
evidence for the contrary.
