The documentation of ‘computed-file’ can be modified to document it
uses a non-broken file name encoding instead of the broken default. 
Though something for a separate patch I suppose.

I did a quick test, and apparently Guile calls nl_langinfo to determine
the encoding, which returns ANSI_X3.4-1968, because glibc defaults to
the C locale.  So unless you want to change the encoding of the C
locale or change the default locale or override glibc's choice of
default locale in Guile, I don't think there's anything to change in
Guile?

Greetins,
Maxime.
