Not with my reproduction recipe. The person who claimed that it could be reproduced with svnversion showed it failing on a UTF-8 name using a non-UTF-8 locale, which is supposed to fail.

If you are using a UTF-8 locale, you should be able to validate this yourself: it will work with svnversion, but fail with python svn. If you use my tarball with a non UTF-8 locale, it will always fail, as tar does not transcode filenames, and the tarball I made contains UTF-8 names. (This was the original demonstration I noted on the list. The counter example someone else posted I believe is flawed.)

Anyway, I'll take the rest of this discussion to the SVN mailing list, as at this point I am sure that this is not a bzr-svn bug. I don't know if it's useful to continue parallel discussion on this linked bug (but we can if someone else thinks it is helpful -- I just want to help get this fixed one way or another! =).
