Yes, I agree.
I did some tests about that. There are some tools to rename files with 
the new encoding...
With ubuntu, there's a migration tool named utf8-migration-tool (written 
in python) to do the job :
http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/misc/utf8-migration-tool

There's also convmv (written in perl) :
http://j3e.de/linux/convmv/man/

Could people using other distributions check if there's some migration 
tool like that ?
