When I do this everything turns out fine. What I suspect is the case is
that the file is being saved with a UTF-8 filename, which is the
displayed oddly in your non-UTF-8 locale. Checking over the README file,
I noticed the following:

 FILESYSTEM ENCODINGS
 ====================
 
   The filesystem encoding is assumed to be UTF-8.  As with other Gtk2 
 apps, if your filesystem is not in UTF-8 you will need to set the 
 G_FILENAME_ENCODING environment variable.  From the Gtk documentation:
 
   "G_FILENAME_ENCODING may be set to a comma-separated list of 
    character set names. The special token "@locale" is taken to 
    mean the character set for the current locale. The first 
    character set from the list is taken as the filename encoding."

If you set G_FILENAME_ENCODING to "@locale" and try the same operation
again, what are the results?

I don't think that this applys to all non-ASCII characters, but rather
to characters you don't want in filenames... such as /, or \r.
