You know, despite seeing the "test_expect_failure" and "TODO...known breakage" with these tests and even mentioning them, it somehow didn't sink in and I was still thinking that there might be some kind of unicode normalization handling in the codebase somewhere (similar to the case insensitivy handling that I've seen in a place or two) that now needed to be extended. I should have realized that test_expect_failure meant there wasn't, and thus all we needed to do was to mark it as continuing to fail with the new filesystem, Should have realized, but didn't. Oops. Anyway, it looks like you've already submitted a patch and marked it as having been reported by me, which is just fine. Thanks! Elijah
