Hi,
UTF-8 file paths work on Debian as well. And the unzipped file names are
somewhat mangled. I suspect a Windows code page got in the way. Pygame
lets SDL open files when it can. And SDL uses the standard C functions.
So on Windows Pygame is at the mercy of the Visual C runtime library.
But Python 3.1 uses Windows specific wide character C functions to open
its files, allowing for some level of Unicode support. One can take
advantage of this in Pygame by passing an open Python file to image.load
rather than a file name.
As a side note, Pygame support of Unicode file names is not restricted
to Python 3x. Unicode strings are accepted in Python 2.x as well.

You have to create a Python module named sitecustomize.py, with the lines:

sys.setfilesystemencoding('utf-8')
Now my program is working again.
As another data-point, I tried your program and it works for me on
Ubuntu without needing a call to setfilesystemencoding. However, when
I unzipped the files in your archive they had very garbled names. I
had to manually rename them to maçã.jpeg and árvore.jpeg. I'm not sure
if that's a problem on your end or mine.
Can you open files normally in Python? E.g. does this work?:
pygame.image.load(open(filename, "rb"), filename)
