It is inconvenient in interactive sessions (in scripts appropriate measures must be taken anyway), the following does not list content of the "--" directory:
ls -l --
I slightly dislike the "___xx" compared to "______" because it will create a proliferation of top-level folders as opposed to cramping the non-standard IDs into a single "______" folder.
I believed that proliferation of folders is for purpose. Intermediate directories allows to avoid excessive number of files in single directory. ext4 with directory tree index usually is not the case, but other filesystems may have rather poor performance when too much files are stuffed into single folder. Some applications become really slow for huge directories.
On the other hand there are not so many distinct file names that may fall into "__" directory, so perhaps it is OK. Concerning "unknown" I am less sure.
I do not have strong opinion how to properly deal with short IDs.
