The detailed description indicates that the problem happens when the Windows console output is switched to UTF-8, and therefore the file being searched includes the Cyrillic text encoded in UTF-8. Therefore, my crystal ball says that the root cause of this is because Windows non-ASCII character functions from the C runtime library cannot support UTF-8 as the multibyte encoding. My suggestion is not to use UTF-8 on Windows in conjunction with software ported from Posix systems, because making such ports support UTF-8 on Windows is a very large job (in a nutshell, you need to replace all the runtime functions with alternative versions, and if you want support beyond the BMP, you need to use a 32-bit data type instead of wchar_t). In the particular case in point, I suggest to use a single-byte codepage that supports Cyrillic letters. Then the problem should go away.
