Hello, Christian:
Sorry for taking awhile to reply to this. Looks like you're quite right
-- it was an encoding issue. When I make a "josé" directory using
utf-8 it does show up with netrw correctly (with which I'm using utf-8).

That is an encoding issue. The 'é' in your tar archive is latin1 encoded
while your Vim tries to read it as utf-8. BTW: How does the shell
display it? Somehow the shell should know the encoding, so you might
check the output of the locale command and try to use iconv() like this:
iconv(expand("%:p"), 'latin1', 'utf-8')
BTW: There is a patch in the todo list, that should fix that issue.

I don't see this problem. What is 'encoding' set to?

Hello!
I've attached a small tarball illustrating the problem I'm having with
expand().
gunzip jose.tar.gz
tar xf jose.tar
cd josé
vi junk.vim
:so %
:echo x[4]
:echo y[4]
With the first echo, you'll see (using utf-8 for encoding) . This
is the hex code for a é. The second echo shows .
:echo x
shows /jos/junk.vim
:echo y
shows /josé/junk.vim
This problem has some definitely unwanted effects. At least one person
redid their home directory's name to avoid the accent, because netrw
won't display it correctly (or use it correctly) because of this bug.

The filetype: netrw
Try having a directory called josé with a file therein called "one".
vim -u (whatever you called the vimrc above)
:echo expand("%:p")
You'll see something like /home/cec/jos/one
With this, there's no filetype involved.

In what filetype did you execute the expand() call?

enc is utf-8. By bisection of my .vimrc, I find that the following is
enough in a .vimrc to cause the to appear instead of é
set nocp
filetype plugin on
set enc=utf-8
