Aaron is quite right, this does break if run with LANG=C, so it hasn't
merged yet.

(My vote before was meant to mean "this isn't totally right, but it's
better than what we have now, so let's merge it.")

Is there a standard way to skip tests that can't run because of the
filesystem encoding?  I'm sure there must already be some but I can't
see it.
