I'm using ReiserFS on my media drive, and I can tell you that the
UTF-8 works fine on the filesystem:

hrm@vlad:Les-Granges-Brulées $ ls
Descente-Au-Village.ogg Les-Granges-Brulées.ogg
Générique.ogg L'Hélicoptère.ogg
Hésitation.ogg Reconstitution.ogg
La-Chanson-Des-Grange-Brulées.ogg Rose.ogg
La-Perquisition-Et-Les-Paysans.ogg Théme-De-L'Argent.ogg
La-Vérité.ogg typescript
Le-Car+Le-Chasse-Neige.ogg Une-Morte-Dans-La-Neige.ogg
Le-Juge.ogg Zig-Zag.ogg
Le-Pays-de-Rose.ogg

I'd suspect a problem with Apache more than a problem with the
filesystem.
