Yes. Every svn library function uses UTF8 paths internally, and expects
path arguments to be UTF8. The UTF8 path is only converted to system
locale when a library needs to do user interaction... e.g. display a
path on the console, or create a path in the working copy.

This behavior is a rough definition of 'i18n', right? What we're still
missing is l10n... the ability to produce error messages in different
languages.
