I've now implemented this approach: 
<http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Glib/commit/?id=24e411443fc9e8d0fccae9a832bf4a2aa4a7fc5e>. 
 zentara, can you verify that this fixes the problem for you, too?

According to 
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5408730/what-is-the-encoding-of-argv>, 
what you get in argv can actually be in different encodings.  What you 
type in is encoded according to your shell frontend (so probably 
according to the locale), but when you tab-complete a filename, for 
example, the bytes you get in argv will be the bytes from the disk.
