We don't now, but if we went to an all-UTF-8 system, then yes, we should convert Latin-1 to UTF-8 as well for filesystems which are Latin-1 natively. Note that Unix filesystems don't define a charset (they just define that any byte except null or / is valid in a filename), so that's not an issue there.
