The warning is quite new, the setting exists since 4.5.0 :-)

systemLocale is only used for some functions which produce incorrect 
results if the LC_CTYPE locale is not set to a correct locale.
Because the FE and BE usually have their own locale set (to produce 
correct date formats, etc.) the local must be temporarily switched.

This locale is only used if a UTF-8 file system is used. If you have 
disabled the setting for a UTF-8 file system file names are cleaned 
during upload and there is no need to switch locales.

So, if you have a file system that supports UTF-8 and you want to use 
file names with accented characters you need to activate 
[UTF8filesystem] and set [systemLocale] to a UTF-8 locale which is 
present on your system.
