Or they use a single encoding like utf8 so that there are no surprises.
You can still run into normalization problems with filenames on some
filesystems, though.  Linus's name_hash code sets up the framework to
handle "these two names are actually equivalent", but right now I think
there is just code for handling case-sensitivity, not utf8 normalization
(but I just skimmed the code, so I might be wrong).
