There is a file named "Gütekriterien.txt" in my repository. Trying to
view this file as "blob_plain" produces an 404 error (displaying the
file name with an additional print statement):

$ REQUEST_METHOD=GET QUERY_STRING='p=notes.git;a=blob_plain;f=work/G%C3%83%C2%BCtekriterien.txt;hb=HEAD' ./gitweb.cgi

work/Gütekriterien.txt
Status: 404 Not Found

Decoding the UTF-8 encoded file name (again with an additional print
statement):

$ REQUEST_METHOD=GET QUERY_STRING='p=notes.git;a=blob_plain;f=work/G%C3%83%C2%BCtekriterien.txt;hb=HEAD' ./gitweb.cgi

work/Gütekriterien.txt
Content-disposition: inline; filename="work/Gütekriterien.txt"

The generated pages show the correct file names.
