This looks like a bad interaction between emacs and xfce4, I'd guess then emacs is sending the file name to xfc4 to set the widget title. Could you try to reproduce the bug while passing "-T foo" option to emacs ? This will set the widget title to "foo" instead of "mär19" HTH

The relevant emacs variables were file-name-coding-system: nil default-file-name-coding-system: iso-latin-1-unix
Bug#924762: further information: window manager
I use xfce4 as a window-manager. The bug does NOT occur under icewm.
Bug#924762: further information
Normally I have LANG=De_de and the kernel parameter vt.default_utf8=0. E4 codes Umlaut-a in ISO 8859-1. The bug occured in a real world situation (the file was "mär19"). To reproduce on other keyboards: "touch $(echo -e \\xE4)" and "nano $(echo -e \xE4)" work. "ls" shows the filename correctly. For another test, I changed set LANG=C in /etc/default/locale and rebootet withou the kernel paramter vt.default_utf8=0. This did not influence the bug. I have tried older versions of /usr/bin/emacs-gtk (without installing the whole package) down to 1.25.2+1-11. They show the same bug. meld is also a gtk-editor. But "meld $(echo -e \xE4)" works fine.

Does a file with this name exist in the current directory? Is it possible to create a file with this name? (I'm guessing you have everything configured for UTF-8 and thus a lone 0xE4 is an incomplete multibyte sequence.) -- If this were a real .signature, it would suck less. Well, maybe not.
Bug#924762: further information
The problem occurs also with the current kernel linux-image-4.19.0-4-amd64.
