Duplicate of #1840. Update youtube-dl to 2013.11.28 or newer. By the way, you'll still get a warning then, because the environment variable LC_ALL is not set. Without it, we cannot know what encoding to choose for filenames. Set it to something sensible like LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8. That should fix the issue without an update as well.
