2: Adobe Reader then displayed in the title bar the filename from the file system. Guess what; that's ASCII; no more no less.

OK. But I do not see the reason, why did you write this reply. Do you think, I do not understand these facts? "...is caused by two things": this is, simply, not true.
1. and 2. points of your reply: both must not be. Simply, no reason, why. Foobar2000 can play a FLAC file and do with it anything, what you want, and send it to any other application (through Tools) -- and does not force me to store my files in "his" place, with language-killer filenames. Files all remains with own, ANY language filename, with own letters -- hungarian too, russian too, greek too...
Total Commander can handle it, too. Windows too. Mp3tag too. All they can do ANYTHING, without killing the language.
What you call "normalisation", really is "abnormalisation". Fortunately, not all languages of the world are so poor, as english. Hungarian, for example, has 46 letters - not 22, as english.
And, AGAIN: please, read, I wrote 3× already: what can be done manually, can be done automatically, to. If Calibre want preserve illogical,
nationality-insulting, racist, discriminative filename system, then it can make temporary file for reading.
As I know, Kovid is hindu. Did he forget about english imperialists, who killed people in India? Or does he like it? In any case:
I do not like the killing of my language.
