Comment:

 Probably introduced by
 [[https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/0ae45b6af9dcab151b1c982f4645f32fbaaebe95

 10cb2504535b96ed354d2553d12b83bd786ab4f0fd5ac61c849086021f97a501R410|QGIS
 #49128]].  Which crashes calling
 `pdal::PluginManager<pdal::Stage>::loadAll()` with

 {{{
 Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFEA24A4FD9 in qgis-dev-bin.exe: Microsoft
 C++ exception: std::range_error at memory location 0x000000C6588F5670.
 }}}

 originating from PDAL's
 [[https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL/blob/2.3-maintenance/pdal/util/FileUtils.cpp#L89|FileUtils.cpp:89]]
 as the string is apparently in local 8-bit encoding (ie. CP1252 here) and
 not UTF-8.

 Looks like that upstream PDAL issue was fixed in 2.4 by
 [[https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL/pull/3764|PDAL #3764]]. As updating PDAL to
 2.4 would require rebuilding all QGIS versions PDAL !#3764 was backported
 to 2.3 for the time being (ie. next QGIS point release)

 Fixed in
 [[https://github.com/jef-n/OSGeo4W/commit/8f79e2fdeb4276596e2d2e162e9a7b2c64a66dda|8f79e2fdeb4]]
