Yup; the current trunk isn't able to view images under Macos from dired
if the path contains a non-ASCII char.

Test case:

larsi <at> emkay trunk % mkdir /tmp/fóo 
larsi <at> emkay trunk % cp etc/images/gnus/gnus.png /tmp/fóo/
larsi <at> emkay trunk % ./src/emacs /tmp/fóo/

And then RET the file to test.  I then get an error message about
failed output type 'public.tiff' on the terminal.

I've added Alan to the CCs.
