As you have realized, Windows 10 supports UTF-8 for non-Unicode (ie non-UTF-16) apps (according to Wikipedia, this feature was added with build 17035, released in April 2018, and is still marked 'beta'). This makes Rakudo happy.

However, not respecting your locale while Python manages to do so still seems worthy of a bug report to me.
