Which package do you use? The native binary or the cygwin package? Maybe 
one of the packager(s) knows whats wrong here...

monotone uses an internal normalized utf8 format for paths, however the 
conversions from/to the various external character sets is what most 
likely make problems (and throws out the logic error above), just 
because its not really there (tm) yet. So you're safe if everything uses 
utf8 around you - otherwise you're pretty much on your own for now.
