    It seems to me that LANG should be enough to force filenames and process
    I/O coding to use utf-8, regardless of the Emacs language-environment
    setting 

Does LANG have this effect on other programs?

LANG itself should not control anything in Emacs directly,
but maybe it should be used toinitialize someting else
that would control this.
