When I do this everything turns out fine. What I suspect is the case is
that the file is being saved with a UTF-8 filename, which is the
displayed oddly in your non-UTF-8 locale. Checking over the README file,
I noticed the following:
FILESYSTEM ENCODINGS
====================
The filesystem encoding is assumed to be UTF-8. As with other Gtk2
apps, if your filesystem is not in UTF-8 you will need to set the
G_FILENAME_ENCODING environment variable. From the Gtk documentation:
"G_FILENAME_ENCODING may be set to a comma-separated list of
character set names. The special token "@locale" is taken to
mean the character set for the current locale. The first
character set from the list is taken as the filename encoding."
If you set G_FILENAME_ENCODING to "@locale" and try the same operation
again, what are the results?

I don't think that this applys to all non-ASCII characters, but rather
to characters you don't want in filenames... such as /, or \r.
