Well, probably, yes. I agree that this might not be a high prio case,
but IMHO it should be solved sooner or later.

Probably. I had a real-world problem though even though it might
not be very common.
Anyway, I do not want to argue about priorities here, but I want
to remind you of the second problem, the "freeze" that happens
on both Windows and GNU/Linux:
1. $ emacs --no-init-file --no-site-file
2. (setq debug-on-init t)
3. (setq file-name-coding-system 'utf-16-le)
4. Wait for a while
See now how emacs seems to "freeze". It is possible to unfreeze it
using C-g and then a debug outout like this is displayed:
ange-ftp-completion-hook-function(file-exists-p "/")
file-exists-p("/")
make-directory("/home/mathias/.emacs.d/auto-save-list/" t)
As the primary problem will not be solved (unicode support for file names)
I will not be affected by the problem above in a real-world case, but I
wanted you to know that something is fishy here, even on GNU/Linux.
Thanks for the help!
