Thanks for the report. This is now fixed in r65709.

The right approach is to use the MS "wide string" API whereever
possible, e.g. invoke MsiSummarySetPropertyInfoW (instead of
MsiSummarySetPropertyInfo, as that defaults to MsiSummarySetPropertyInfoA).

If you ever find that you need to encode a Unicode string to a byte
string so that some "ANSI" API can accept it, use the "mbcs" encoding.
