Not exactly. However, assuming you have a file using characters which

I have no idea whether du calls setlocale() or not. I think you're
saying that today, with codepage:utf8, it is able to get sizes for files
using non-ANSI characters, but if codepage is removed, it would not be
able to do so unless it called setlocale(). Is that right?
Right.
That seems bad.
...unless Cygwin itself would call setlocale().
Or maybe the codepage could default to UTF-8 if setlocale() isn't called?
