Patrick,

Actually as I described in #5297, the error is not File.join but the result of Dir.glob coming using the current Encoding.default_external and not the filesystem one:

<pre>
V:\>chcp 1252
Active code page: 1252

V:\>ruby -e "puts Dir.glob('*').first.encoding"
Windows-1252

V:\>chcp 437
Active code page: 437

V:\>ruby -e "puts Dir.glob('*').first.encoding"
IBM437
</pre>

While File.expand_path is more smart about that.

<pre>
V:\>chcp 1252
Active code page: 1252

V:\>ruby -e "puts File.expand_path('.').encoding"
Windows-1252

V:\>chcp 437
Active code page: 437

V:\>ruby -e "puts File.expand_path('.').encoding"
Windows-1252
</pre>

I can show lots of different variations, but the simplest proof is:
irb(main):001:0> File.join('foo'.encode('utf-8')).encoding
=> #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>
