 I don't think this is a bug. For me FreeBSD ext2fs works fine with UTF-8
 encoded file names providing that you have configured locale settings
 correctly.
 
 Do you expect "iocharset=utf8" and "utf8" mount options to convert
 file names to some other encoding? AFAIK even Linux doesn't support such
 options for ext2.
