Ah, damn.  I got confused by the order of the wording in this comment:

/* Encode or decode a file name, to or from a unibyte string suitable
   for passing to C library functions.  */

namely how the function immediately following that is
`decode_file_name', but the comment talks about encoding first.

Thanks for pointing this out.
