Thanks for this. An attachment is perfect, because the file contains
non-ascii chars.

And indeed, I found the problem:

Tramp checks, which locales do exist on your remote machine. This are
just C, C.UTF-8, POSIX and en_GB.utf8. Not so many.

Internally, Tramp keeps a list of acceptable locales. This list contains
en_US.utf8, C.utf8 and en_US.UTF-8. None of them matches the available
locales, Tramp decides to use locale C as last resort. And this let the
utf8 specific test fail.

I've added C.UTF-8 to the list of acceptable locales. This shall be
sufficient, at least in your case (and in many other cases as
well). Committed to the master branch; please pull it and check again.
