Not just the shell mangles them, but the invoked commands cannot cope
with such encoded arguments, unless they are encoded in the system
locale's codeset, i.e. the system codepage.

So if they don't depend on that input file, and if the encoded
arguments must be in UTF-8 or somesuch, those tests should be disabled
on Windows.
