There's a 32 letter switch to tell wget not to convert filenames to
names that are invalid in the current locale? Taking valid filenames
and mangling them to be invalid is not acceptable.

That's the esprit de corps!  Dismiss people frustrated with data
corruption bugs that have been open for years! Demand they offer
patches when there's no evidence any is interested in fixing it! 14
years ago, Debian made it release-critical for Hamm to break 8-bit
data; if the program didn't work, it got removed. Is it not too much
to expect that people running the most common locale charset should
not have their data corrupted by Debian programs?
