A bug.
The problem here is that we need to allow multiple encodings since there
is no reliable encoding specified anywhere. The approach I advocate is
the one we use for handling encoding in general. I.e. if it looks like UTF-8,
treat it like that else fallback. This is expensive however and then we have
all the other issues with case insensitive name and the funny property that
unicode has when it allows characters to be encoding using multiple sequences
of code points as empoloyed by Apple.
