This bug is with blender3d, were the paths are stored internally in C as simple char arrays - bytes. We could expose all path names as bytes too through our C/python API, this would at least be a 1:1 mapping, however Id prefer using strings if possible. Since blender projects need to be portable - compress entire projects and run on different systems, we cant ensure the native fs encoding is used. So surrogateescape seems to work very well, except for this one case I've run into, windows only.
