It's just the only difference between case 3 and case 4 (if I'm understanding Eugen's descriptions...) and I often saw strings with "nonlocal" chars printed as a collection of "?"s by the shell... and both filenames (3 and 4) are _without_ spaces (if I'm interpreting the "works as expected | works NOT as expected" well)

Well, if you did, you would see that it can't possibly have any connection to reality...

... but thanks for reproducing it. I can confirm that it doesn't seem to work correctly on 4.8.33. I'll try a debug build on the master to see what happens.
