If we add tests for this feature (and I agree it's desirable), we should generate the files with non-ASCII names for those tests as part of the test script, not having them ready in the repository and the tarball. That's because unpacking a tarball with non-ASCII characters and/or having them in Git will immediately cause problems on Windows, where the unpacking tools and at least some versions of Git for Windows cannot cope with arbitrary non-ASCII file names. The Texinfo project had quite a few similar problems, and ended up generating the files as part of running the test suite as the only viable solution.
