Montage error when loading files with unicode chars

Hi, First post here, hope you guys can help.

I'm using Montage to put some images together, but I'm having a problem when the filenames includes unicode/utf characters when they are being loaded using a wildcard.

My files are:
téstæøå_01.jpg
téstæøå_02.jpg
téstæøå_03.jpg

my .bat file contains:
montage téstæøå_01.jpg téstæøå_02.jpg téstæøå_03.jpg -tile x1 -geometry +0+0 output.jpg
montage téstæøå_*.jpg -tile x1 -geometry +0+0 output.jpg

These two lines does exactly the same, the later one is just easier to work with as I don't have to construct a long list with all the filenames. The first line works perfectly, the second line I'm getting "Unable to open image" and then it's showing a filename that is totally messed up.

You can see the result of the batch file here: http://imgur.com/fovWfm1

Hope someone can help

What is your ImageMagick version and your operating system?

Can you upgrade your version to the latest and try again? We fixed this bug a couple of months ago.
