SonarQube Runner fails on a file having comma in its name

Question

SonarQube: 5.2

Scanner For MSBuild: 1.0.2

Below line exists in FilesToAnalyze.txt deep inside .sonarqube folder

...Help\User\Duplicating,_Renaming,_Deleting_a_Blueprint.htm

And, MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe end throws below exception. Notice how file name is truncated just before first comma in file name.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The folder 'C:\<full\path>\Help\User\Duplicating' does not exist for '<sonar:key>:509A1B17-E264-4DF5-99FC-AF27D064FBC4' (base directory = <dir containing .sonarqube>)

I decided to exclude the folder containing Help\User\ by passing /d:sonar.exclusions="**\<parentDir>\Help\**". This has no effect.

Is there an issue in Sonar Runner if file names contained comma?
Why doesn't sonar.exclusions have any effect?
Finally, log message states ERROR: Re-run SonarQube Runner using the -X switch to enable full debug logging. How do I pass -X switch to Sonar Runner from MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe. Is it in the begin command or end command?

Do you have thoughts on bullet points 2 & 3 in my question? Thanks. – WiSeeker May 24 '16 at 20:02
@dinesh-bolkensteyn It doesn't look like there has been any progress on this in over a year. Any chance we can get an update on it? – John M. Wright Oct 02 '17 at 20:03
