Do you think this case will be common enough in practice to be worth
worrying about in the short term?

In my experience redundant buffer/file names are not very common for
_arbitrary_ files.  Rather, they tend to occur with very specific names
where the name is not chosen by the user, but rather is due to some
external standard -- e.g. "Makefile", "*shell*", "README".  But I think
such "standard" names are also more likely to be written just using
ASCII, and so won't tickle this problem.

Do you observe otherwise in your environment?  [hmm, what's Hebrew for
"README"... :]
