This is a well-known, and unfortunately difficult to fix, bug.  It may
be easier to fix for Windows than Unix because Windows actually has
rules about the character encoding used for file names, but that
doesn't mean you're getting a fix anytime soon.  We apologize.

If you are interested in helping us fix the bug, the problem is in
{unix,win32}/fs.cc: the Windows version should be using the W versions
of various system calls (notably FindFirstFile/FindNextFile) and
translating to utf8, the Unix version needs to check what comes back
from readdir() first for already-UTF8 and then for strings in the
current locale's charset.
