According to the config on
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Titleblacklist
Files like "DVC1234.JPG" should be blocked:
File:DVC[\d\s]+\.JPG <reupload|errmsg=senselessimagename> # DoCoMo
But here's one I could upload, as a non-admin.

The system does reject some commons patterns like DSC123456.JPG, but that is because of yet another blacklist check (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Filename-prefix-blacklist).
Sam Reedy suggests some crucial fixes did not get pushed to 1.17 wmf branch. Although it looks like they did?
It's confusing. This definitely does seem to work on a local trunk install.
