It looks like you've found a bug in CKAN 1.7 and (since you also tested
on thedatahub) CKAN 1.8. I just tested your filename with CKAN 2.0 alpha
(the current master development branch) and I didn't have any problem
uploading and then downloading the file, so I think this problem is
fixed in 2.0.

I think a fix for this is unlikely to be backported to CKAN 1.7, so if
you're using 1.7 then I'd say unicode characters in filenames are not
supported when uploading files to the filestore, stick to ascii
characters.

I've created a ticket for this bug in CKAN 1.8, so a fix may make it
into the 1.8 or 1.8.1 release.
