I tried it and then Gnumeric said,

It seems gnumeric couldn't understand expression with Japanese EUC
character code.

I guess it must be a parser problem. (I was afraid it was something I 
broke in the analysis tools.)

I found interesting behavior.  I made a workbook having two sheets 
(named Sheet1 and Sheet2) and Sheet2 had a cell with the expression
referring a cell in Sheet1 (like =Sheet1!A1).  Then I changed the name
of Sheet1 to Japanese name.  Then, it appeared that expression in the 
cell in Sheet2 referring to Sheet1 (now it is Japanese) follows and
had Japanese sheet name in expression, and the referring value was
correct.

Thus it seems expressions with Japanese sheet name are working without
problem.
So I think validation of expression when entering expression is too
strict for Japanese character.  Is it easy to change this in gnumeric
source code?  But I'm not good at C...

Changing the name of a sheet is an end run around the issue.  It
means that we can display multi-byte characters, but I strongly
doubt we can edit them.  That is going to be one of the main goal
for the 2.0 development tree.
