[Box Backup] Non-ASCII location names not working for Boxi and Box Backup

[Achim]

Non-ASCII location names not working for Boxi (bug 2831970 [1]) and Box
Backup

Adding a location with the following settings:

Location name: ñ 
Location path: D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\empty

results in the following bbackupd.conf saved via boxi (note the UTF8
location name convesion!):

[..]
BackupLocations
{
	ñ
	{
		Path = D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\empty
	}
}

When starting a backup of that location, the following happens:

Boxi.exe: Nothing is backed up

bbackupd.exe: Nothing is backed up, displays the right location name "ñ",
but the looks for "ñ" on the file system:
NOTICE:  Beginning scan of local files
WARNING: Failed to stat location path 'D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\empty',
skipping location 'ñ': No s
uch file or directory (2)
NOTICE:  Finished scan of local files
NOTICE:  File statistics: total file size uploaded 0, bytes already on
server 0, encoded size 0


changing BackupLocations to
BackupLocations
{
	ñ
	{
		Path = D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\empty
	}
}

Boxi.exe: Nothing is backed up

bbackupd.exe: Nothing is backed up, and now location name is now displayed
empty '':
NOTICE:  Beginning scan of local files
WARNING: Failed to stat location path 'D:\install\AJL\BACKUPTEST\empty',
skipping location '': No su
ch file or directory (2)
