Ah! Good spot. There are two (common) ways of writing accented characters in Unicode, "NFC" (normal form composed), where you use (say) a c-cedilla character, and "NFD" (normal form decomposed), where you use the normal c character followed by a "composing cedilla". The MacOS API is defined to use UTF-8 NFD, Linux (and probably Slimserver) use UTF-8 NFC, and Windows and thus NTFS use UTF-16 NFC. It looks like something along the way has managed the UTF-8/UTF-16 conversion but botched the NFC/NFD conversion.

Googling all this produces http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/2009/02/ntfs-3g-200921-update-1.html (last comment).
