Aha!

[ron at mickey:~/devel/ccl/active]$ svnversion
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '.'; please get  
a newer Subversion client

But...

[ron at mickey:~/devel/ccl/active]$ svn --version
svn, version 1.6.3 (r38063)
    compiled Jun 23 2009, 16:38:16

Now I remember why I hate subversion.

This was working correctly one revision ago.  Did the default encoding  
change perhaps?

? (setf s "λ")
"λ"
? (length s)
2
? (elt s 0)
#\Latin_Capital_Letter_I_With_Circumflex
? (elt s 1)
#\Right-Pointing_Double_Angle_Quotation_Mark
?

On my display, the string s contains only one character: a lower-case  
Greek lambda, unicode code point 03bb.
