Yes, it works with LyX 2.0. Seemingly, the locale is not correctly set
in LyX 2.1 and 2.2 when the GUI is not used. Indeed, using the attached
patch, when launching LyX normally (such that the GUI appears), I get
the following output:

charset: ANSI_X3.4-1968
charset: ANSI_X3.4-1968
charset: UTF-8
charset: UTF-8
charset: UTF-8

Instead, when executing a batch command, I see:

charset: ANSI_X3.4-1968
charset: ANSI_X3.4-1968
charset: ANSI_X3.4-1968

and then it fails if file names contain non-ascii characters.

However, it is weird that compiling LyX 2.1 or 2.2 with Qt5, then the
batch command succeeds, even if the above output is unchanged.
Go figure...
