Well, I haven't made any adjustments to that PC so I'm not sure why.

As I've said above, the behaviour is the same on two Japanese Windows PCs. I
don't think I've ever even visited the "Control Panel" on the one at work.
But, as you said, I found the LANG variable set up in the System / Advanced
(it is システムのプロパティ・詳細設定・環境変数) on Japanese Windows) menu.
Since I didn't set it up at all, the only thing I can think of is that LANG
was set up like that by either GIMP or Inkscape or Firefox, since I have all
of these both on the home machine and the work machine, and they all have
language settings (all set to something like en_GB). I definitely have never
set it up like that myself.
Anyway, I deleted LANG from the menu, and then I commented out the lines in
.emacs which set it to shift-jis. Then I tried starting up Emacs again, and
found that it seems to open the directories correctly now. I'm very glad
that it works, although I'm a bit concerned how LANG got set like that.
Thank you Jason for your assistance and for sticking with the problem long
enough to get to a solution.
