Unable to restore a dump having Chinese characters

Hello,

I've had a tough week...
Because of a hardware failure, we had to restore our nightly subversion dump.
We are using 1.3.2 on Linux with fsfs (Apache/2.2.2 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.2 OpenSSL/0.9.7a DAV/2 SVN/1.3.2)

After 2 hours of feverish restore, the "svnadmin load" failed with the message:
File not found: transaction '84072-1', path 'JRules/branches/v65updates/localization/ja/tutorials/shared-jp/ã­ã¼ã³æ¤è¨¼ã«ã¼ã«/ã¯ã¨ãªã¼'
The strange characters at the end are supposed to be Japanese chars that the term cannot display.

We finally managed to restore the dump by using svndumpfilter to exclude this path and several others. All of the paths which were causing problems had Chinese or Japanese characters.
But most paths with such characters worked correctly: only a few were crashing the restore.

I was able to extract one part of the dump to reproduce the problem:
ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/private/JRules/chinese.svndump.gz
To reproduce, do the following:
  svnadmin create chineserep
  svn mkdir file://`pwd`/chineserep/trunk
  svnadmin load chineserep < chinese.svndump

I tried re-importing it with subversion 1.4.6, but I had the same error.
I suppose the problem happens during the dump, not the restore.

Is this a known problem with multibyte encodings?
Would it be corrected in a newer version, or do you want me to register an issue?

Thanks a lot for your help,
