As it happens, I have an old svn 1.3.0 installed here (I rarely use the CLI).

C:\temp>mkdir fred

C:\temp>svnadmin create fred

C:\temp>svn mkdir file:///temp/fred/tags -m "create tags"

Committed revision 1.

C:\temp>svn mkdir file:///temp/fred/tags/code -m "create tags/code"

Committed revision 2.

C:\temp>svn mkdir file:///temp/fred/tags/code/test%5c0.3.1 -m "create bad name"

Committed revision 3.

C:\temp>svn rm file:///temp/fred/tags/code/test%5c0.3.1 -m "delete bad name"

Committed revision 4.

So in Windows with 1.3.0 it all seems to work as expected. Looks like
the unix shell is somehow modifying your command line.

Or you have the wrong URL - maybe something is entered in the wrong case?

Try svn ls -R https://142.8.7.6/svn_repository/tags/Core/r1/
