Hm, there's a bug somewhere. The lookup got broken and ls got an error.
Did you debug it a bit?  can you share the code and a reproducer?

>From a quick look at the example I suggested, utf8_strncasecmp* return 0
on match, but ext4_match should return true when matched. So remember to
negate the output:

..
res = !utf8_strncasecmp(um, name, &dirent);
..
