I have an idea for a change that could solve this. I will post it in
a day or two and ask you to try it.

If that's what OS X users expect, fine with me.

I rather think it's a non-starter, at least for Emacs 25.1. It
probably means users of all systems will be punished by slower
directory searches, on behalf of one peculiar filesystem. Unless
there's some clever idea that avoids decoding each file name returned
by readdir, that is.
Thanks.
