I think it maybe has to do with the encoding used by unrar for windows to 
decompress the standard output with the option p or in the code used
to pipe this output.

For me it's difficult to track this issue because I don't have a working windows
environment. Open a bug report in bugzilla.gnome.org anyway.

I have plans to remove the Evince dependency from external applications for
decompressing comics books this summer. This eventually will fix this 
sort of problem.

Cheers,
