Our official list of shell metacharacters in argsplit() is:

#define METACHARS       "$&*(){}[]'\";\\|?<>~`\n"

It seems like replacing all of those for any MIME parameter we encounter
would make sense, and would be safe?

What about ! with bash?  (Some systems use bash for /bin/sh.)  !n executes
the n-th command from history.

And " #" has meaning to Bourne shell, it starts a comment.
