Is this problem particular to Git, or do you also get it if you
e.g. rsync from the Linux box to the Mac OS X box?
    

No, the problem with git status is not the display. Matthias' problem is
that git status reports a tracked file as untracked. The reason is that
on HFS+, you create a file with name A and get a file with name B, where
A and B are different representations of the same name. There seems to
be no way to reliably detect which one HFS+ uses.
  

Yes, the problem is not the display but the filesystem. I had similar
problems with unison some time ago.
But there was a special fix for utf-8 and Mac OS X in one of the newer
unison versions.
