I'm running a Django site on a Debian 6 system, with a gunicorn server and nginx 0.7.67 handling static files. The filesystem locale is set to sv_SE.UTF-8.
I got a problem where another user uploaded a file with a filename containing unicode characters. This caused the server to throw a 404 when trying to serve the uploaded file. When I uploaded the same file from my system, the site now serves the file correctly. However, it didn't delete the old file, though they seem to be the exact same file in every regard. Below is the current directory listing.

How can there now be two identical files with the same (apparent) name? What can have been the cause of the 404 in the first place, i.e. what's wrong with the first upload? The URL is the same as before, only now it doesn't throw a 404.
