i was going to poke through the sources to see if there was a  
misapplied typemap, but you didn't mention what functions you were  
calling, so i have no idea where to look.

if this is an encoding problem on the location property of a file  
source, i don't know how we'd fix that; gchar* properties are always  
converted with the gperl_value_from_sv() function, which considers  
gchar* to be utf8 text that you want to convert with SvGChar.  there  
are currently no hooks for overriding that.
