Note that these aren't "decomposed" (in the unicode decomposition
sense) but are merely octal escaped representations of the utf-8
encoded file names.

My understanding that this is normal and probably dates back (at least
for status as far as:

        commit a734d0b10bd0f5554abb3acdf11426040cfc4df0

        Make private quote_path() in wt-status.c available as
quote_path_relative()

The behaviour can be changed by setting the git config variable
