>>> It tests nothing on utf-8 locale (test passed even when bug is not fixed).
>> The issue is about Windows and UTF-8 is never used as filesystem encoding on Windows.
> The issue exists on Linux as I reported in msg173373.

I don't understand your problem. Non-ASCII filenames were already supported with UTF-8 locale encoding. The new test checks that there is no regression with UTF-8 locale encoding. The test pass without the fix because it was not supported.
