This is a known bug in Unison 2.27, which is fixed in the latest
stable release. It is not due to the unusual character, but is
rather a consequence of renaming the directory. Unison then optimizes
the transfer using local copies. When this happens, a message is
printed client-side ("Shortcut: copying ... from local file...), but
there is a bug in doing so...
A workaround is to add "xferbycopying = false" to your profile (maybe
just for synchronizing this directory).
