This discrepancy can bring down Java actually. Try creating a file with an invalid UTF-8 name and feeding it to a Java program via the command line on a modern Linux distro. Java won't be able to find it. I talked about this with Duncan Coutts on #ghc and he said that this is why command line arguments are always interpreted as latin1 by GHC. So even a file has a name with multibyte characters, you'll get the individual bytes as Char's in the String's that you get from getArgs. So these Char's should be < 256 and should work. But I admit that sounds a bit flaky. Petr's solution looks alright to me BTW.
