Comment (by DrProtocols):

 Whilst a little late to the game I would say resolving this issue (and
 perhaps if the resolution also extended to transliterating all
 international characters in a uploaded filenames and ensuring all lower-
 case) would be a massive win in terms of site portability since issues can
 often arise with character set support on different platforms and also
 case-sensitive vs case-insensitive filesystems.

 The IEEE Portable Filename Character Set
 (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap03.html
 section 3.276) but with the added condition of lower-case only is an ideal
 goal for any uploaded media file.

 To paraphrase Shakespeare, "A file by any other name still displays the
 same".
