The conversion on 2.3.7 is to EPS (according ot the posted logs), rather 
than PNG, which is why it works better. I'm not sure why we're choosing 
PNG instead on 2.4. On my system here, it chooses EPS.

Didier, do you have a PDF to EPS converter listed in your 2.4 install?

It shouldn't be. This is the toFilesystemEncoding vs 
toSafeFilesystemEncoding issue again, where the former is known not to 
work with non-ASCII characters on Windows, whereas it does work (at 
least according to the comments) on *nix and derivatives.
