I'm sorry, but that example make no sense to me -- you need to mark the encoding (and don't send HTML that will get stripped).

This is presumably Windows, given the name.

The incorrect result incurs when the file path contains Chinese character.
It seems that dirname/basename action on unit of byte instead of char, so
the result in the following example is half of what is expected.

No, it works in widechars, that is UCS-2.

I have a suspicion of what the problem is (it is related to attempts to handle embedded nuls), so please try tomorrow's R-patched to see if I have fixed it. If that does not work, we need a reproducible example, and that means a message in a known encoding. (One way to do so is to attach a plain text message, and tell us in the body of the message the encoding you used.)

g<-"d:\\如果含有中文\\如果含有中文.txt"
dirname(g)
[1] "d:/如果含"
basename(g)
[1] "如果含有"
