Actually, this holds for most non-ASCII characters.

Glib uses Unicode internally, see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69059

"export"-ing "G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1" should make Nautilus try to convert
the filenames, but this makes it crash with random memory allocation
errors for me. (I'll file a bug report tomorrow)
