If I have understood this correctly, filenames are not "in" a locale, they are absolute. Users, on the other hand, are "in" a locale, and users view filenames. The same filename can "look" different to two different users. To user A (whose locale is Latin-1), a filename might look valid; to user B (whose locale is UTF-8), the same filename might look invalid.

Is that right, Lars?

If so, Marcin, what exactly is the error, and whose fault is it?

Using non-UTF-8 filenames in a UTF-8 locale is IMHO an error.
