posix ttys only emit bytes (aka encoded characters) in the event queue,
whereas according to this bug, w32 ttys emit characters (aka decoded
characters).

While the Leim use case comes from the same commit, its source is
slightly different, so the two fixes are unrelated.  I'm working on
a patch for that problem, but it doesn't fix this problem.
