updating .po files with 'django-admin.py makemessages' under windows with russian locale fail

[gurovic@…]

django1.7, python 3.2, windows 7 64 bit russian

---
I have Windows 7 Rus, default encoding is cp1251.
If i have some translations in .po-file in russian (utf-8 encoding),
and running makemessages again to add new phrases, it uses msgmerge.exe in function write_po_file,
popen got output in cp1251 encoding instead utf-8 and crashes:
