I suggested that directory-files might take the SDATA of the
default-directory (i.e. its internal utf-8 representation), prepend it
to the file name and mark the result as a unibyte string before
returning it.
I have no evidence saying it's what happens, but based on the message
log something along these lines might be going on and could explain the
behavior.

You mean the functions in autoload.el or package.el? I don't think so.

He's a student of mine, so use of Emacs is mostly imposed and I since he
found a workaround (use that alternate user with all-ASCII name) I think
he's happy enough to move on.
