      Reproduction Steps

      1. Install Puppet Agent test build on WIN_SUT.
      2. Create user "㔲㔳㔴㔵㔶" and join the user to the "Administrators" group on WIN_SUT.
      3. Logoff and logon as the "㔲㔳㔴㔵㔶" user on the WIN_SUT.
      4. Open a Puppet console and execute the following command: 

        C:\>puppet --version
        		 
        Error: Could not initialize global default settings: Invalid argument @ dir_s_mk
        		 
        dir - C:/Users/?????

      Expect

      Puppet should display the version number.

      C:\>puppet --version
      		 
      Error: Could not initialize global default settings: Invalid argument @ dir_s_mk
      		 
      dir - C:/Users/?????
