The filenames are not in my control or Guile's. Guile can't simply wish
the filenames to be strings, or, like Python, it would at least need
some special measures to handle the exceptional cases.

Well, of course, when there's a will, there's a way. By setting the
character set artificially to Latin-1 in Guile, all pathnames are
accessible to it.
