Yeah, these filenames were posted from Windows (I was at work). They seem OK.

I just renamed these files to get rid of the ä character and it still skips tracks 3 and 4.

Did you follow through on my suggestions at all?  Try playing the third and last tracks from other folders and see if you notice any similar behavior.

Other folders are fine, it's just with this folder that I notice this problem.

Okay, it wasn't clear that you'd tried other folders.  The only thing I can think of suggesting at this point is to examine the ID3 tags and make sure they're not excessively long (I forgot what the limit is, probably 255 characters) or corrupted or... who knows.  You could always just delete them from the files and see if that has any effect on playback.

Well, these are FLAC files, so I have Vorbis comments instead of ID3 tags. But whose limit do you mean? If it's ID3's then I'm fine, but if you're referring to some Rockbox limit, I may need to look at something or other.
