I'm guessing there is not a bug in ls, and instead
a mismatch between input and output char encodings?

Does this output as expected?

ls -d folder*

This is a good way to debug what characters really are:

$ ls -1d folder* | od -Ax -tx1z -v
000000 66 6f 6c 64 65 72 c4 85 0a                       >folder...<

cheers,
Pádraig.
