apr_err is no longer defined, so this code wouldn't compile.

Most likely the second by of the UCS-2 string is 0 and in all cases the
final word is 0, so this won't crash. So we can fix this in a later release
if necessary.

I'm surprised that this code worked correctly in 1.7... but it did. This
code path has been active in at least the SlikSvn build.
