Adding random characters to filenames?

Does anyone know about, or come across, OSX adding random characters to filenames? It happens every now and again and I have no idea why?

It started after we had a new Windows server installed at work, and I noticed when saving to the server this would happen, but occasionally they would right themselves automatically. I assume it was a glitch or bug between OSX and Windows. It stopped for a while, but happening again today, this time to files on the Mac – however these were images FROM the server which I was re-saving with a dropet in Photoshop. So now unsure where the issue lies.

I'm on 10.9.3 on a 3.2ghz i3 iMac. Server is Windows 2013 *I think* (Sure we upgraded from 2003).

If anyone has any ideas/suggestions that would be great!!

Thank you!

Ben
