Comment(by cscott):

 I thought of trying to convert the signature of 'filesystem path'
 arguments to 'ay', but it seems that the python dbus bindings make it
 difficult to call methods with arguments of this type; there is no
 automatic conversion from 'str' to 'ay', as far as I could tell from the
 documentation.  So it seems we'll have to live with the 'filenames must be
 utf-8 encoded' limitation, which is kinda problematic: see #6799, #6777,
 #6606, #3498 for some previous times when encoding assumptions have bitten
 us (and I wasn't able to find the bug I was actually looking for in trac,
 which is when olpc-update was bitten by this same utf-8 assumption).
