"Because of the lack of proper support for non-ASCII characters in file
names, it is recommended that administrators not attempt to use any
non-ASCII characters in file names. Any other configuration is
unsupported.
Apache 2.0 introduces the UTF-8 convention to access any filenames and
resources in a predictable and safe manner. The implementation of this
feature is too extensive to consider backporting to Apache 1.3."

What's the evidence that the request contained the UTF-8 sequence?
That seems like the suspicious part, given what Apache tried to serve.
