I guess no-one is going to like this but here is a reality-check on this
issue. There is close to zero chance of anyone at Logitech working on
this officially. The only result of trying to escalate that is most
likely to be the complete withdrawal of MusicIP support from Squeezebox
Server.

Therefore, continued support and, in particular, resolution of this
issue, will rely on either:
  
- some Logitech staff member fixing it because they care about it
  personally; or
- someone from the community picking up the ball.
  

I do not know if it is actually fixable or not, in the general case.
SbS (in 7.6) takes care never to convert a filename from the bytestring
representation returned by the filesystem API (in perl) to some other
character-set encoding, and then back again for further use in the
filesystem API. The reason for this is that such conversion may not be
reversible and SbS may not know the character-set encoding of
underlying file-system. If the MusicIP API makes such conversions
(which I think it does), then the results may not be reversible.
Nonetheless, it is probably possible to go over all the relevant parts
of the SbS MusicIP plugin and make either a best-guess, or take a
specific systematic approach, which would work in most cases.
