Seems 'bug-worthy' to me.

Here's some more confusion using Asterisk 11.8.1:

Play a file with colons in the file name:

     -- Executing [*@default:3] ControlPlayback("IAX2/6002-1095", "/tmp/2014-04-10-13:31:03") in new stack
     -- <IAX2/6002-1095> Playing '/tmp/2014-04-10-13:31:03.slin' (language 'en')
     -- ControlPlayback seek to offset 0 from end

1) There is no 'slin' file, only a 'wav.'

2) I didn't specify any offset. Note that 'core show application 
controlplayback' does not mention anything about seek from end.

3) No audio is played.

Play a file with quoted colons:

     -- Executing [*@default:3] ControlPlayback("IAX2/6002-106", "/tmp/2014-04-10-13\:31\:03") in new stack
     -- <IAX2/6002-106> Playing '/tmp/2014-04-10-13:31:03.slin' (language 'en')
     -- ControlPlayback seek to offset 0 from end

1) No slin file.

2) No offset.

3) No audio.

4) No quotes in 'Playing' message.

     -- Executing [*@default:3] ControlPlayback("IAX2/6002-461", "/tmp/foo") in new stack
     -- <IAX2/6002-461> Playing '/tmp/foo.slin' (language 'en')

1) Still no slin file.

2) /tmp/foo.wav is played, audio is heard.

So...

1) You should report it as a bug.

2) Eric's right -- you should not use colons in file names. Even if 
controlplayback() allowed them, they always seem to cause problems 
somewhere.
