This works fine for me on a SuSE 9.2 system using an ActiveTcl basekit:

[note that my tcsh isn't handling the pwd, but it all works]

tellar [~/tmp/a [1meo] 227 > pwd
/home/jeffh/tmp/añeo
tellar [~/tmp/a [1meo] 228 > ./base-tcl-linux-ix86
% encoding system
utf-8
% info patch
8.4.14
% pwd
/home/jeffh/tmp/añeo
%
