Windows: invalid multibyte string

[jeroen]

This keeps happening on Windows in various packages:

Can confirm, I run revdepcheck on Windows and see this throughout the process:

In addition: Warning messages:
1: In grep("^[^\\s]+:$", lines, perl = TRUE, value = TRUE) :
  input string 10 is invalid UTF-8
2: In grep("^[^\\s]+:$", lines, perl = TRUE, value = TRUE) :
