Mule, win32 native, current cvs

I have a new problem using the current cvs source code compiled with Mule under native win32. The Mule tests run ok (apart for the bug below). But whenever I ask for example : (split-char ?é) ;; here the char is eacute I get some funny result: (chinese-sisheng 38). Also, when I open a new file in 'Noconv' encoding mode (ie: should be latin-1), if I type some accented characters and then I save the file, the file is unreadable (contains ~ chars if I 'type' it on the console). Next if I switch the encoding to MSW-MB and I write the file again, then the chars are correct on the console, even if in the buffer those chars are still reported to belong to some other encoding (by asking (char-charset (char-after (point))) ) and displayed correctly. The trick is that Gnus does not tolerate that the encoding is reported wrong, it will split your message in as many parts as needed to mime-send it. I have tried to disable every single option I could (no optimization, no KKCC, no UNION_TYPE etc.), every time making a distclean. No I wonder where to look in the source code. Let me know if I can help further in solving this problem.
