Well, I'm going to close that PR. :-)
First, set LANG environment variable to hu_HU.UTF-8 in your case:

# setenv LANG hu_HU.UTF-8

Second, mount the FAT32 partition in Hungarian locale:

# mount_msdosfs -L hu_HU.UTF-8 /dev/da0s1 /mnt

Third, untar your attachement file:

# tar xvf /mnt/files.zip
x 1’.txt
x 2–.txt

# stat 1’.txt
128 244744 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4294967295 0 "Jan  1 08:00:00 1980" "Aug  1 16:57:52 2011" "Aug  1 16:57:52 2011" "Jul  3 11:28:24 2014" 16384 0 0x800 1’.txt

# stat 2–.txt
128 244746 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4294967295 0 "Jan  1 08:00:00 1980" "Aug  1 16:55:20 2011" "Aug  1 16:55:20 2011" "Jul  3 11:28:24 2014" 16384 0 0x800 2–.txt

Let me know if that works for you, thanks.
