Note the weird whitespace characters following Names_Titles/, and also note that the GitHub code browser on the web incorrectly sorts that file first (at HEAD of master).

There's clearly something strange going on with that filename, thought I can't tell exactly what.

Looks like my initial guess was right: the filename wrongly starts with a tab character. It looks like this file is a duplicate of the correctly-named file (which simply lacks the leading tab character), so it should be deleted.
