This was the problem.  I have pushed the patch manually:

http://patchwork.sourceware.org/patch/1430/

I have also applied the following patch to patchwork to allow it to
fall back on alternate encodings if the charset is unknown.  I'll post
it to the patchwork mailing list.

I suspect you mean iso-8859-1.  (Both windows-1252 and iso-8859-1 provide 
useful fallbacks for mixed-character-set patches - what's relevant is 
actually the bytes of the patch, after all, when it's changing files that 
don't all use the same character set, and misinterpreting those bytes as 
the wrong characters doesn't matter so much.  This particular patch was 
actually iso-8859-1 - +/- signs in pre-existing comments in patch 
context.)

Thanks, fixed.
