I think that's the correct thing to do on Darwin.
But generally applications won't work with these non-UTF8 paths if
they are well behaving MacOSX apps themselves, right? That reduces
chances of being fed garbage. But, other OSes can't guarantee
UTF-8ness either, because LANG (and LC_CTYPE) can be user-settings,
which can differ for different users, but path names are the same for
all users. So on Linux you can't be too sure either.
Yeah, it's not a problem in a well-behaved world, and in practice
that's been working out, but it is something to be aware of, because
it is occasionally a reality.
