File renaming bug with converter

Some non-ASCII letters in tags cause deletion of converted files.

Source is an uncompressed .wav file, with cached metadata:

ARTIST=Anúna
TITLE=Maria Matrem Virginem (Maria Virgin Mother)

Target name is %artist%-%title%. LAME 3.97b1 from rarewares was used. Parameters used were -V 4 - %d. lame.exe was in C:\Program Files\foobar2000\cli\, and the full path is mentioned in the converting preset.

With tagging turned back on:

When Convert to same directory is used and converting starts, the target filename is not Anúna-Maria Matrem Virginem (Maria Virgin Mother).mp3, but Anuna-Maria Matrem Virginem (Maria Virgin Mother).mp3. When the converting finishes, the file disappears.

I see this with 'í' and 'Á' as well.

edit: foobar2000 0.9 beta 8.

Workaround: $ansi(%artist%-%title%)

Unicode handling for output filenames is broken with encoders that don't support unicode themselves. I might add a special workaround for this but it will still break if output path contains non-system-codepage characters in directory names somewhere.
