Can't open image file with non-ASCII character in file name

[Damian]

ffmpeg.exe cannot open a file called Café.jpg (note the accented "e"), although it can open the same file if it is renamed to Cafe.jpg (no accent), and it can open a file called Café.mpg (a movie file instead of an image file).

The error is:

Café.jpg: No such file or directory

I'm using ffmpeg-20140211-git-6c12b1d-win32-static.7z from ​http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ on Windows 7 SP1 32 bit.

Full output of ffmpeg.exe -v 9 -loglevel 99 -i Café.jpg -report:
