No, the key point is that the two strings should be identical because
they are the return value of the exact same code which doesn't touch the
current buffer, yes once it's run in a unibyte buffer and the second
time it's run in multibyte buffer.  So the current-buffer's multibyte
setting somehow affects the directory-files function.  That's the bug.
