I assume you are looking for this one:

7130915: File.equals does not give expected results when path contains 
Non-English characters on Mac OS X

It was back-ported to 7uX last year [1]. There were also several threads 
about this topic on macosx-port-dev at the time, much of it about the 
initial port of JDK 7 to Mac OS X not matching Apple's JDK 6.

So I'm curious if you are just obviously different behavior or whether 
this has broken something. Were you using java.text.Normalizer to work 
around issues?
