What version of curl are you using? The latest one does the expected thing for
me, as this excerpt from --trace-ascii shows:

0269: --------------------------48daa29ab55def9f
0295: Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"
02c2:
02c4: f1
02c8: --------------------------48daa29ab55def9f
02f4: Content-Disposition: form-data; name="f1"; filename="config.bin"
0336: Content-Type: application/octet-stream
035e:

If the server is turning this into a file called "1file", then it sounds like
it's completely up to the server and doesn't have much to do with what
metadata it gets sent.
