Yes, but it is a bug, just a hard one to fix. It needs someone to
dedicate a serious amount of time to deal with it.
Since most of the people who tend to do that generally use systems in
UTF-8 locales where this isn't a problem, or don't use Windows, it is
languishing.
Oops, I meant to write "or don't use non-ascii characters", the UTF-8
locales implies non-Windows.
