Was that letter representable by the current Windows system codepage?
If so, I don't think this is the problem. If it wasn't representable,
such a directory cannot be used on Windows with Emacs 24.3.

Hmm... can you tell which code called autoload-find-file?
> Is it already fixed in trunk?
The trunk uses an entirely different machinery for non-ASCII file
names on Windows, so it's hard to tell. But we did fix quite a few
problems related to building and running Emacs from non-ASCII
directories, so maybe this was one of them.
