Create a directory with '$'
Navigate mc to it
press C-\ to open hotlist
Press "Add current"
Chose the entry you just created and press enter

See the message:
Cannot chdir to "/foo/$bar" No such file or directory

All rught, not just dollar sign. Try to create directory named $HOME

Hotlist and quick cd command recognize environment variables (like $HOME) in path. Unfotunately, it is not documented. This behaviour exists for years and I wouldn't change it.

Replying to basinilya:

This is a bug. \$ should work but doesn't.
