It might be calling QgsOgrProvider::setEncoding() whether or not the 
selected encoding is different than the default encoding.

Even though the crash is occurring in code dealing with encodings, the 
problem may be a bad build since the file loads for me. I would try 
deleting qgsogrprovider.o and qgsfield.o (crash caller and callee) and 
recompiling. If that doesn't work, I would then try a complete rebuild.
