Don't know if this is related but I have this situation in a folder:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
/tmp/TEST:
totalt 28
-rw-r--r-- 1 matsl users 0 20 okt 23.28 ÄÄÄ
-rw-r--r-- 1 matsl users 0 20 okt 23.28 ÖÖÖ
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I open the file 'ÄÄÄ' for editing, (modeline says it i ÄÄÄ) insert
some chars and save it. This is what I get in dired:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
/tmp/TEST:
totalt 32
-rw-r--r-- 1 matsl users 4 23 okt 12.40 ÄÄÄ
-rw-r--r-- 1 matsl users 0 20 okt 23.28 ÄÄÄ
-rw-r--r-- 1 matsl users 0 20 okt 23.28 ÖÖÖ
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In a shell, outside XEmacs, I get:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
spencer:/tmp/TEST% ls -l
totalt 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 matsl users 4 23 okt 12.40 ???
-rw-r--r-- 1 matsl users 0 20 okt 23.28 ÄÄÄ
-rw-r--r-- 1 matsl users 0 20 okt 23.28 ÖÖÖ
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The file I saved from XEmacs, and is shown as ÄÄÄ in dired is in my
shell shown as ???. Both XEmacs and the shell uses the same locale
sv_SE.UTF-8.
If I remove the file ??? in the shell, and update dired, XEmacs is
smart and gets the names back readable again.
Is this a bug or should it be like this?
I can reproduce the situation on a MULE XEmacs in an UTF-8 locale. (It
also breaks on a non-MULE XEmacs, but in a different way. Fixing it
there is harder.) The reason is that `default-process-coding-system' is
'undecided in the read direction, and UTF-8 fails to get detected. My
suggestion is to align the coding system in `insert-directory' with the
locale's coding system. Works for me.
Maybe the MULE experts could review? I'd appreciate that!

* files.el (insert-directory): Bind `coding-system-for-read'
according to the current locale where available. (Previously, the
default ended up being undecided, which doesn't work well for
UTF-8-based locales, for example.)
