non-utf locale leads to errors in `decode-coding-region' (dired) |

With
export LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15
on a Mac (NS port), and a directory that contains a folder named
"Tätää"(i.e. a German umlaut), viewing the directory with `dired'
fails with an error message. The trace is below.
The bugs here are
1. `decode-coding-region' signals an error (it is not documented to do
so)
2. with this locale, "ls -la" will not output utf-8-nfd, even though
it seems that we expect this.

I do not. It seems to have been fixed.
Thanks for checking on it. Closing the bug.
