I think it can be reasonably safely assumed that people using 8-bit characters in file names will not refrain from using them in the files themselves: file names usually are chosen descriptive of the contents, and so rarely are in a different language. So I don't see what quoting such characters in file names is supposed to buy with regard to diff output in 7-bit email.
