svn_uri_canonicalize is still used for more than urls/uris, so it doesn't handle any encoding itself.

But besides that, I also think this is not the right way to fix this. For several characters in uris it is optional if they are escaped or not. We need a better fix than just fixing the casing of the escaped characters...

Unescaping the paths would be an option that resolves it in the generic case, or unescape followed by a specific standard escaping. (This last method is used in some class libraries to avoid similar issues, but to provide a useful uri anyway)
