No, it's easier than that
  --- without resorting to LaTeX internals.

You want to make \includegraphics behave like a macro that
you know already handles filenames correctly, such as \url
from  \usepackage{url} .

You must do it in a way that does *not* read the {...} argument
until the catcodes of the special characters have been adapted.

e.g.
  \renewcommand{\includegraphics}[1][]{\url}

Now the optional argument is gobbled, then the \url  picks up the
filename and prints it in whatever style you use for URLs.


Even better would be to look at how  url.sty  can be customised,
and setup a special command to deal just with these filenames
for graphics --- using a special font and/or color.
