I think that must be because the filesystem is mounted with the wrong
codepage or iocharset setting. The manpage for mount has:
codepage=value
Sets the codepage for converting to shortname characters on FAT
and VFAT filesystems. By default, codepage 437 is used.
iocharset=value
Character set to use for converting between 8 bit characters and
16 bit Unicode characters. The default is iso8859-1. Long file-
names are stored on disk in Unicode format.
So, in /etc/fstab you need to add the correct settings (maybe only the
first, maybe both) in the options column for your vfat filesystem. Seems
like the codepage in your case could be 850.
Please let us know if this works.
It could also be that there really is an issue with the display of VFAT
filenames if UTF-8 is used, but that would not be my first guess.
Anyway, I doubt this would be an installer issue as there is no real way
for the installer to determine the correct settings.

This is a known error already fixed in a later version of libc (#409516).
