There are a lot of us using TDE on Debian, and apparently none of us have the problem. So if the Q4OS folks are being truthful with the above, it seems likely the problem is with their customized TDE. So you might consider installing TDE from the TDE repo, and see if the problem still exists.
I have a similar problem on one of my PCs - there it mangles the names of some directories. I couldn't understand why. It is also Debian.
Years ago I was looking into some of the parsers and they need improvement especially for the reason of mangled chars.
I would not exclude this issue in TDE which may appear or not depending on circumstances we do not know.
