A botched invariant is not a user error, so the right fix is to not fail 
the invariant in the first place.  Fail higher up.  The right error is 
"File with high-bit characters in filename encountered."

This invariant happens because the filenames are compared signed in one 
place and unsigned in another.  Considering I reported this bug about 
the same time last year, I don't hold out much hope that it will be 
fixed unless I fix it.
