Yup. Thanks for handling the bookkeeping (and your guess was right,
I'd forgotten that you were not the original reporter, thanks for
clarifying).

Well, what constitutes screen-unfriendly binary data depends on the
locale. I'm not against Subversion behaving better here, if we can
define what "better" means. But in any case, it's a different issue
than the ones originally opened, so those should be closed no matter
what. We may open a new one, if we decide to make this other change.
