Research direction
Start with electrum/gui/qt/wizard/wallet.py around on_filename and electrum/storage.py around line 78, then inspect the traceback's UnicodeDecodeError handling path. Reproduce the reported wallet-file selection failure if possible and determine why it reaches MemoryError; done means the path has a verified, non-crashing outcome.
