If the binary APIs are missing from a major platform (i.e. Windows) then the choice to use them brings with it a major cross-platform portability problem that should really be handled by the standard library.
+1
I might also add that providing binary APIs does not prevent us to implement some special representation of broken filenames when using the unicode APIs (for example using private Unicode characters - I'm not sure what the right terminology is - as sometimes suggested).
