IIRC, the same bug occurs in SyncTeX.
It seems to show that there is something wrong at the I/O level.
In C I/O routines on Mac OS X, file names are encoded as UTF8, I could  
not find any evidence that the same holds for windows.
Regarding the time I spent to debug SyncTeX on windows, finding out  
why compressed files were not accepted,
I am really reluctant in spending even more time to find the bug with  
accented letters.
