I would HIGHLY suggest you install Transliteration module.

This patch should correct the issue (for the most part). I'd still very, very highly recommend transliteration module, but this will solve the problem at least as far as ImageField is concerned. It's not that the images aren't uploaded, but rather that the image isn't displayed because the URL needs to be enocded because characters like & or # have special meaning within URLs.
