Yep, I remembered correctly that there was a general issue with special
character filenames: https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6089
The problem was fixed quite some time ago in
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/612 and this
works, ie LilyPond produces the correct filenames and correctly encoded
contents. What doesn't work is Ghostscript converting the generated
Postscript to PDF, which I suspect is a packaging / cross-compilation
error on our side since it works with the official Windows binaries
from ghostscript.com and the older version of Ghostscript from GUB...

Tracked in https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6282, I'll
have to investigate how to solve this.
