Lualatex is right, umlaut characters in latin1 are invalid sequences
in utf-8 but both luatex and xetex work internally in unicode. I am
not sure whether it is possible to change interaction with file system
encoding easily. Anyway, many years ago whe I did not use utf-8 in
Linux, such file name did not work even in OpenOffice.
