Not so sure it's a bug in clisp, though. I have a bunch of files with
names encoded in ISO-8859-15 and I copied one in my $HOME with an
accentuated character, then invoked clisp while having fr_FR.UTF-8 as my
locale (where the byte encoding of the previously mentioned character is
not a legal one).

clisp started fine.

And as I previously explained Andreas, I could reproduce it's bug by
using a locale not installed on the system.

I would consider it a rather major bug if clisp was scanning my $HOME
without me asking it do to that, BTW.

Quickly,
Pierre
