[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The cases I found didn't occur when running under `ert', because then I
could not manage to break into the debugger.

However, today I tested with `debug-on-quit' to t and `ert-debug-on-error'.
When I press C-g I go into the debugger and it looks like it's executing
the `test' commands you suggested earlier. I've attached the backtrace (for
what's it worth).

Anyway, it works with simple filenames like "xyz", so it is somehow
connected to the non-ascii file names. By the way, are you aware that OS X
denormalizes file names when stored in the file system, could that be
related to this in any way?
