I'm not sure I buy into your hardline stance on this one.

I think it's not unreasonable to require that all filenames specified in
the settings be in a valid encoding (whatever that encoding is) on their
own filesystem (where "in a valid encoding" means "converts correctly to
and from unicode").  In that case, utf8 is appropriate here.
