That's weird.  I'll have to try a CD (ie, ISO 9660 fs), but on disk
(ie, HFS+ fs) all I need to do is

            M-: (setq file-name-coding-system 'utf-8) RET

and live happily ever after.  It is a hassle, for some reason it
doesn't work properly from init.el, so I need to figure out what's
going on there.  But it only needs to be done once (for the hard
drive), then everything works---a big improvement over bash or zsh in
Terminal.  I do have some issues with dired (needs a Western LC_TIME
at least, or the dates get parsed incorrectly), too.
