Options I see are: 1. Report as a bug and hope for a fix. Since it is a beta version, maybe your chances are better?
2. Parse the output strings for non-ascii characters and try to correct them. I have not tried it, but it might be possible using Convert to text/CONVERT FROM TEXT. 3. Use something else. I ended up using CURL to deal with servers were FTP_GetDirList did not work correctly.
