character sets and filenames

I've seen some problems when scanning filenames
with foreign characters and I was hoping somebody
would have some suggestions.

Say, for example, I have 

  /home/music/luiz_macedo-bossa_electromagn<E9>tica.m3u

Currently this is failing to be encoded as a URL
by the routine  FilePathToURL which in turn
is implemented with g_filename_to_uri

>From reading the URI/URL documentation, I would
expect this to be encoded as 

  /home/music/luiz_macedo-bossa_electromagn%E9tica.m3u

My initial reaction is that it's a bug in glib, but
on the other hand  the documentation says for g_filename_to_uri:

filename : an absolute filename specified in the encoding used for
filenames by the operating system.

And the filename passed in is probably not considered legal (but
actually works fine).

Would someone like to clarify?
