There were some encoding problems in epg that were fixed recently in
the development sources.  Can try Emacs 30 from the master branch of
the Emacs Git repository and see if the problem still exists there?

In any case, on MS-Windows Emacs can only support GPG-encoding of file
names that can be encoded in your system codepage, due to limitations
of how Emacs on Windows invokes sub-processes.  So this will only work
of cp932 is your system codepage.
