I'm in favour of a different, fifth solution:

5) represent all environment variables in Unicode strings, including the ones that currently fail to decode. (then do the same to file names, then drop the byte-oriented file operations again)

Yay, maybe we can have this whole discussion all over again!

Let's bring out all the same arguments, come to no conclusion, and let
it taper off unresolved, yet again! :)

FWIW, I still agree with Martin that that's the most reasonable
solution.
