desktop freezes when copying file to android phone

If you try to copy a file named a:b.m4b using the nautilus file manager to a USB-connected Android phone in MTP mode, the desktop will freeze until you disconnect the USB cable. Then you'll get an error from nautilus:

"Fehler beim Kopieren von »a:b.m4b«.
Beim Kopieren der Datei nach mtp://Google_Pixel_7_291...
mer%Speicher/Audiobooks ist ein Fehler aufgetreten

libmtp-Fehler: Could not send object."

This happens when the file to be copied contains the colon symbol :
