This also affects many other tests, like MySQL ones (see recent posting
from Ulf on qa@)

The issue is that there's a mix-up between our internal encoding
(utf-16) and the outside one. I don't know if there's a good way to get
the shell encoding to be used when converting to UTF-16 or if we should
use [script|runtime|filesystem|output|fallback|stream]_encoding - For me
all of them look wrong.
