bug#9351: 24.0.50; Gnus nnrss group names in utf-8

Recent Gnus may have a problem in handling nnrss data file names
unless encoded in us-ascii.  When I invoke Gnus by M-x gnus, Emacs
signals an error saying that it cannot find the data file.  I am
attaching a backtrace showing the problem.

I am also attaching a diff showing my workaround for the problem.
I am not quite sure if it may be called a right fix.
