Anyone else running into this? I tried backing up svnmerge.py to r36767 (sometime in March; random choice) and I am still having the problem.

There's an accented c (ć, unicode 0x0107) in a log message.  It looks like svn log is outputting the character and python can't handle it.  Wierd, since svn log is supposed to convert its output to the local encoding, just like svnmerge is trying to do.

Someone isn't using the right encoding, or else svn log has a bug.  I might just be restating the obvious.
