This issue slipped off my attention - sorry for that.

This is a general problem. Our API (UNO as well C++ in sal) assumes that file
names are given as Strings. This either can be a URL (always encoded in UTF-8)
or a system file path (always assumed to have the system encoding).

Though this assumption is very limiting, as you example shows, it could work if
we didn't touch file names, but we convert between URLs and system file paths
back and fourth in several places, and the same assumptions about encodings are
applied.

A fix would require to change the sal file API to work with types that somehow
preserve the original file system path notation and also rethink our handling of
URLs and file paths in general.

There already is an issue for this: issue 66973

If you agree that your problem is as I described it, we can close this as a
duplicate.
