Is this problem particular to Git, or do you also get it if you
e.g. rsync from the Linux box to the Mac OS X box?

You probably have to configure your shell on OSX to render UTF-8
correctly. It's just showing the raw escaped byte sequence instead of
a character there.
There isn't anything wrong with OSX in this case, filename encoding on
any POSIX system is only done by convention. You'll find that you have
similar problems on Linux if you encode filename in Big5 or
UTF-32.
Linux will happily accept it, but your shell / other applications will
render it as unknown goo because they expect UTF-8.
