Bug Description
For example:
apt-add-repository ppa:sevenmachin
creates a file /etc/apt/
However, man sources.list says
File names need to end with .list and may only contain letters (a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), underscore (_), hyphen (-) and period (.) characters. Otherwise they will be silently ignored.
So therefore this newly created list file is silently ignored (verify by apt-get update and looking in /var/lib/apt/lists)

(+) may be seen as an invalid character for a sources.list entry.
You have already pointed out valid characters and (+) is not one of those.
