This appears to be a bug in the URI module, or URI::QueryParam. As I build up the query parameters inside the URI object, previous ones seem to undergo bogus "re-"conversion to UTF-8, which mangles them. You get one reconversion per manipulation, which is a lot! Hence the long garbage strings.

I'm afraid I don't have time to debug this further right now :-((

Ok, I found out what was the problem.
I had to apply this patch: bzapi/patches/xmlrpc-fix.diff

It works for me now.
