I also see this on my [i386-mingw] and [i686-linux] (Arch 3.2.7-1) systems.

A quick workaround for mingw is chcp 65001 in cmd.exe before starting sh to run make test-all, and for Arch, set LOCALE="en_US.utf8" (not en_US.iso88591) in /etc/rc.conf

I fixed this in r34839, but it seems redmine isn't closing the ticket automatically.
