Additional question: are you sure you use fs::wpaths with environment 
locale? Not boost UTF-8 codecvt facet (this is what is done in 
libs/filesystem/test/wide_test.cpp). Because boost UTF-8 codecvt facet 
works fine for me too, but I want to get system locale working - I don't 
want to rely on system locale encoding being UTF-8.

This is true. So you don't imbue anything at all and it works for you? 
I'd really appreciate this clarification.

Thanks a lot to you and to all who are helping me in this thread!
