Does symbol ']' is even allowed to be inside the windows directory path? As far as I am concerned this symbol is invalid :)

It is allowed in Windows10 . Just click the right mouse button in Explorer , and create a folder , then name it "[abc]".

Yep, this is /dup #11149. This is a bug in Windows PowerShell (5.1) -- sorry! There's nothing that can be done about that. It does not handle directories with special characters in them properly.
