Indeed.  I stole the path "gitweb/test/M\303\244rchen" from git.git
and ran your script on Mac OS X:

  $ cat jt.sh; echo; sh jt.sh 
  #!/bin/sh
  LANG=C LC_ALL=C
  export LANG LC_ALL
  
  rm -fr testrepo
  mkdir testrepo
  cd testrepo
  
  pathname='Märchen'
  echo $pathname
  echo hello >"$pathname"
  /bin/ls | fgrep -e "$pathname" | wc -l
  
  pathname='Mrchen'
  echo $pathname
  echo hello >"$pathname"
  /bin/ls | fgrep -e "$pathname" | wc -l
  Märchen
         0
  Mrchen
         1

The first pathname= line in the above script is the *exact* byte
sequence which appears in gitweb/test's tree.  I apologize if my
email chain screws up the line.
