> The latter may handle non-ASCII pathnames better on Windows - a quick look at the LuaFileSystem seems not to indicate that it does any UTF-8-to-UTF-16 mapping, it just calls _mkdir(), but we map UTF-8 to UTF-16 and call _wmkdir().  It also matches what we do in C/C++ code in Wireshark.

I'm not sure whether Lua's standard I/O library handles non-ASCII pathnames well on Windows, either.  (On Windows, "interprets them in the current code page" doesn't match what Wireshark does with non-ASCII pathnames unless you're using code page 65001.)
