(Get the code!)
Didn't I explain over and over again that the problem is at a much lower level than Dolphin? Those file names cannot be represented inside KDE (Qt) code. There's no way we can even report that they exist and were skipped from the traditional API.
What Dolphin can do -- and I urge you to file this as a suggestion for improvement for it -- is to provide a tool to rename broken filenames. That's a very Unix-specific tool, by necessity (since the problem cannot happen on Mac or Windows in the first place). How one gets told that there is the need to rename, I don't know.
Frankly, I don't care. Tools generating broken-encoding filenames should be fixed. Dolphin and KDE shouldn't be made to work around those tools' bugs. (This includes Zip-extracting tools)
