"Exeption in thread"-Error, when a directory contains a German Umlaut and is made from the commandline with mkdir

When using macfsevents on OS X, I have the following problem: I get a an "Exeption in thread"-Error, when a directory contains a German Umlaut and is made from the commandline with mkdir.

Example:

• I have an directory with the name "schräg"
• when copying a file to it, macfsevents detects it and gets the following error:

Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fsevents.py", line 44, in run
_fsevents.loop(self)
File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fsevents.py", line 127, in __call
snapshot = self.snapshots[path]
KeyError: '/Volumes/Mac_Daten/test/schr\xc3\xa4g'

Important hint:

• the error only occurs, when the above-named directory "schräg" is made on the commandline with "mkdir 'schräg'"
• when making the directory "schräg" with the OS X Finder, all runs well!!

So there must be a difference (for macfsevents) between making a directory with mkdir and Finder.

The same error happens if a non-ASCII directory is created with os.mkdir… :(
