Hi!

File name completion doesn't work with non-ASCII characters on OS X.

Steps to repeat:

    In an empty directory:
    echo "alpha" > åäöalpha.txt
    echo "beta" > åäöbeta.txt
    Emacs -Q
    C-x C-f
    TAB          # Emacs correctly echoes "åäö"
    TAB          # Emacs incorrectly says "[No match]"

     C-g          # To get out of the previous C-x C-f
     C-x C-f
     å TAB      # Emacs incorrectly says "[No match]"

The OS X file system is a bit bizarre in that it stores filenames using the
decomposed UTF-8 format (for characters in specific ranges), this might
have something to do with this.

Emacs can open the files if the full name is manually specified. Also,
dired seems to work OK as well.
