I don't think it is possible as long as Emacs only has one file
system encoding (file-name-coding-system).
The original problem is this:
file-name-coding-system is latin-1
Open dired on a directory with UTF-8 file names.
Do C-x RET r utf-8.
Try to operate on a file with non-ascii characters gives
"File no longer exists; type `g' to update Dired buffer"
This is because when decoding the file name Emacs uses latin-1 and thus
doesn't get the original file name back.
As long as there can be file names with different encodings this problem
can occur.
