Comment(by cscott):

 Also, from my brief perusal, the datastore may have the same sorts of
 problems.  We should really audit all our dbus services which take
 filenames as arguments and ensure that they decoding the utf8.  The really
 problematic cases seem to be the ones where we are passing dictionaries
 through dbus with some keys whose values are filenames.  These are all
 going to be converted to UTF-8 for passage through dbus (since they are
 converted to dbus type STRING, which is UTF8) which will fail if they have
 invalid UTF-8 characters in them.  We really should be manually
 marshalling all filename arguments and converting them to dbus.ByteArray
 for passage over the dbus interface, but this would be a very invasive
 change.
