Hi Jason,

this is #2841 and clisp riding on the short bus. Check your home
directory for any file with an accent or Umlaut and you likely found
the culprit you need to rename. This has been open on the clisp end
forever and has never been fixed. That is why we are moving to ecls,
hopefully in the 3.1.3 release cycle.
Cheers,
Michael
