[Bug 311742] [NEW] UTF-8 file name saved incorrectly

[era]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vlc

When ripping a DVD with VLC, I tried to save the file as "Törnrosa.ogg",
but what ended up on the disk is named "Törnrosa.ogg".  I can tell that
other file names containing accented characters in the same directory
are displayed correctly with my current locale settings, so the problem
is not that the directory listing has mojibake when displayed -- the
file name VLC created has the actual mojibake.

(That's the Swedish title of the Disney classic _Sleeping Beauty_ FWIW.)
