"Ä" dosen't look like "ą', but tail .xsession-errors|enca returns
"Universal transformation format 8 bits; UTF-8".
"file:///tmp/%C4%85.mp3" suggests some 2-byte encoding like UTF-8, "ą"
is encoded on single byte in ISO-8859-2.

So, definitely not fixed. File names shouldn't be interpreted as encoded
strings, but rather opaque byte arrays, as this is the way the
filesystems treat them (without encoding information attached).
