Japanese characters with 0x5c in the second byte

I've discovered a problem with the destination directory in the install process, I've tested this with nsis 2.0 rc 3.

For any nsis installer, choose c:\Program Files\•\ for the installation path.

•\ is a japanese character, (0x955c in Shift-JIS) and contains 0x5c in its second byte.

Hit install. the destination folder becomes only C:\Program Files and all installed files are preceeded with the •\ character.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue and what the possible solution is? It appears as though some place •\ is being converted to a \ character.

Cool! Could you either post or e-mail me how I can fix it in my local version?
