Unencoded URLs aren't reliable, as various browsers treat things in various exciting ways.
If URL is in UTF8 then IE5, IE6, Opera and Firefox works fine. And, I think, it's useful at least for non-Wikimedia projects in cyrillic languages.
To elaborate on Brion's comment: - I believe the "Always send URLs as UTF-8" option is off by default in IE5, and on in IE6. - In Firefox, the default was flipped as recently as a year ago: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261929
