It turns out GNU wc only escapes file names with newlines in them. This was never working properly, but became more noticeable when we added non-unicode support. (I'll also just say this choice by GNU was questionable.)
This also adds one of the tests requested in #6882. I added a new flag to build these kinds of tests, since, as hinted in #6639, files with unusual file names can be problematic with file systems or tools not written with them in mind.
