Item8928: Illegal character in topic name causes quiet not-quite-redirect to WebHome

Foswiki changes the topic name to $Foswiki::cfg{HomeTopicName} if the topic name contains any illegal characters (detected via Foswiki::isValidTopicName). The topic shown is therefore WebHome, but the URL remains the same. This is confusing.

A broken link like http://trunk.foswiki.org/Tasks/Item8891; (note the semicolon) should rather redirect to the "topic does not exist" page, and strip out illegal characters prior to the search for similar topic names.
