Nobody seems to be contradicting my assertion that this is a bug; unless
somebody does object in the next few days I'll open an issue to track
this.

(Before I do, perhaps I should ask: what is Subversion's policy on accents
in URLs? As far as I can glean from the RFCs, URLs can only contain either
literal ASCII characters, or (using %xx escapes) ISO-8859-1 characters -
there is no way for a URL to contain (for example) a Unicode character
corresponding to a Greek or Hindi letter. Is there a recommended
workaround, or way of escaping such characters, or does Subversion have a
more intelligent way of interpreting URLS?)
