My original reason was that the current contract actively promises that
it *won't* check validity:

     * ASSUMPTION: @a path is a valid UTF-8 string. This function does
     * not check UTF-8 validity.

Well, yes, being nice to existing invalid filenames is a consideration.

Another is that this function is used all over the code -- including by
svn_wc_add3(), svn_fs_make_file(), and others. Changing the semantics
in all these places may have unexpected side effects.
