The error message it starts with the hex bytes 89 45 f8 83

$ touch wc/`printf "\x89\x45\xf8\x83zzz"`
$ LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 svn st wc
../svn/subversion/libsvn_subr/utf.c:268: (apr_err=22)
svn: Valid UTF-8 data
(hex:)
followed by invalid UTF-8 sequence
(hex: 89 45 f8 83)

Try using a 8859-1 locale.

$ LANG=en_GB svn st wc
? wc/ ø zzz
