My experience is:
 You can expect to have the exact same problem with quite a few
scripts and other software.

My advice:
 Stick to [A-Za-z0-9-_.] characters in filenames, settings and such. 

Sad to say, this does apply for almost any other "OS" too `:-P

Exception:
 Umlauted, careted and apostrophed characters does work, given that
the correct settings has been provided. Note though that setting has
to be provided for many programs separately.
 e.g. Bash, ls, emacs, ...

This is a true pain in the ass... I wish everybody could stick to
iso-8859-1 or its siblings.
