This leads me to believe that the log is stored correctly on the server but that the commit-email.pl is script is not properly sending it out. I assume this is an issue with not properly encoding TF. So my questions are:

The current version of commit-email.pl is here:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/commit-email.pl.in
As it says at the top:
# This script is deprecated. The Subversion developers recommend
