Error messages in corrupted encoding

It looks like Debug::FormatMessageA() requires subsequent conversion from the national code page to UTF-8 here:

edit/src/sys/windows.rs

Lines 725 to 733 in ccfebb2

	/// Formats a platform error code into a human-readable string.
	pub fn apperr_format(f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>, code: u32) -> std::fmt::Result {
	unsafe {
	let mut ptr: *mut u8 = null_mut();
	let len = Debug::FormatMessageA(
	Debug::FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER
	| Debug::FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM
	| Debug::FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS,
	null(),

I would've assumed that the <ws3:activeCodePage>UTF-8</ws3:activeCodePage> in our manifest would take care of setting the ACP and it would get picked up by FormatMessage. Is that not the case? Or perhaps this is a Win10 issue?

Or perhaps this is a Win10 issue?

Probably not. The same behavior is present in Windows version 10.0.26100.5074.
