I am not sure if your problem is identical to one I recently had to solve. XRE_InitEmbedding2Type on Windows uses ReadDependentCB() and TS_tfopen() internally (implemented in nsXPCOMGlue.cpp. In the 2 helpers, which both take char* parameters, the MultibyteToWideChar conversion used the CP_UTF8 flag. If your path contains MBCS double byte characters then this conversion will produce garbage.
This is correct and intentional: see the comment at http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/xpcom/build/nsXULAppAPI.h#155
We do this because on Windows the native charset doesn't represent unicode. So we use a wmain entry point and wchar, and convert to UTF8 immediately so that we can use a shared char* interface with all the other platforms.
