Bug in vi or ksh?

Has anyone noticed this problem:

Let's say that during a session of vi, you have your shell set
to /bin/ksh (from EXINIT, .exrc, or manual setting).  Let's also
assume you're editing an existing file.  When you perform
a shell escape with file name substitution using %, the
program you call says the file does not exist.

I think the problem is that the substitution is made using
eight-bit characters.  I tried this experiment on a monitor
capable of displaying graphics characters ala ALT-?, and the file
name is gobbledygreek.
