I can confirm this solution fixes the problem.
I think the Win-developers signing the rc2 release all use Windows 7,
maybe it have more code pages installed by default.

I also took a quick look in the code and found the following
"suspicious" code in libsvn_subr\utf.c (line 303) in function
get_xlate_handle_node

#if defined(WIN32)
   apr_err = svn_subr__win32_xlate_open((win32_xlate_t **)&handle,
topage, frompage, pool);
#else
   apr_err = apr_xlate_open(&handle, topage, frompage, pool);
#endif

Why is Windows not using apr_iconv (if available) for this conversion?
(something "ivan" introduced in r865724)
I will try changing this and see if solves the problem.
