You shouldn't to have to do any encoding on the side of the user using the OGR
API (and if you do so, then the WFS driver might again URL-encode what you would
have already encoded... definitely not what you want). This must be done by the
WFS driver when composing the request to the WFS server. I've pushed a few fixes
to trunk 2 days ago to improve the URL encoding. Perhaps they will fix your
issue.
