I believe the problem is that Cygwin only supports ASCII encoding. It doesn't understand non-ascii filenames.

So if you have non-ascii filenames, you need to use the native win32 bzr, not cygwin.

I think it would be useful if we had a better way of handling errors like this, so I'm not closing the bug just yet
