Filezilla Character encoding issue

I noticed something very weird in FileZilla. If I have a file or directory with non-Latin based, Unicode characters in the filename (e.g. Japanese characters) while having different locales set for different environment variables, FileZilla can't handle it and gives me this message at startup:

Character encoding issue
A local filename could not be decoded.
Please make sure the LC_CTYPE (or LC_ALL) environment variable is set correctly.
Unless you fix this problem, files might be missing in the file listings.
No further will be displayed this session.

The files and directories in question don't show up indeed.
I have no idea what's its problem, gFTP for example works just fine, but it's missing some features I really like to have in FileZilla. I couldn't find any other program that has any problem with said files and directories, also, they don't cause any trouble on different systems, even Android handles them just fine. It appears it's something with FileZilla but I have no idea what. I googled it, found a single entry on a different forum made a few years ago but no answers.

Here's my locale:

locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_HU.ISO-8859-2
LC_COLLATE=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_HU.ISO-8859-2
LC_PAPER=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_NAME=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_HU.ISO-8859-2
LC_ALL=

If I export `LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8`, FileZilla works, so I have a workaround, but I don't like using such hacks.
Any ideas?

Here's the output when I start it from terminal without the workaround:

What, so everyone's supposed to sleep every single night now? You realize that nighttime makes up half of all time?
