Not really: that happens when converting from the codepage 932 to UTF16.
But since the Subversion lib only converts from/to utf8, this is not an
issue. It can be an issue for the command line client since that one is
not compiled as an utf16 application on windows, but it would also be an
issue with apr-iconv: it can use the same codepage (932) and would
suffer from the same problems.
