Thanks for a pointer.  I see this bit in that thread:

     If P4CHARSET is not set explicitly when connecting to a Unicode
     mode server, a default charset will be chosen based on the
     client's platform and/or code page.

So I would guess that it is reproducible for you as you are always
on a client with the same platform and/or code page, and it would be
more honest to phrase it as "As an example, Perforce on my Windows
box uses..."  or something along that line.

Thanks.
