I can reproduce this issue and I created a simple application to
create your example filenames in the current dir (see below).

Given the python testcase

  import os
  os.listdir(".")

can't see a fault in Cygwin. Neither from strace, nor in a GDB session.
The readdir calls return the filenames using the SO sequences so that
a valid byte-stream is created which also works in the C locale.
However, for some reason there's a EILSEQ (138) errno generated, but
from what I can tell it's not generated in Cygwin or newlib code.

So I'd like to ask Jason, our python maintainer, to have a look into
that.  Maybe we just need a python rebuild for 1.7?

This is the simple code I used to create the japanese filenames:

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <locale.h>

int main ()
{
  char file1[] = { 0xe3, 0x82, 0xb9, 0xe3, 0x82, 0xbf, 0xe3, 0x83, 0xbc, 
		   0xe3, 0x83, 0x88, 0xe3, 0x83, 0xa1, 0xe3, 0x83, 0x8b,
		   0xe3, 0x83, 0xa5, 0xe3, 0x83, 0xbc, 0 };
  char file2[] = { 0xe3, 0x83, 0x87, 0xe3, 0x82, 0xb9, 0xe3, 0x82, 0xaf,
		   0xe3, 0x83, 0x88, 0xe3, 0x83, 0x83, 0xe3, 0x83, 0x97, 0 };
  setlocale (LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8");
  int fd = open (file1, O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0644);
  close (fd);
  fd = open (file2, O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0644);
  close (fd);
  return 0;
}
