With just a quick grep over the config for
/boot/config-2.6.7-1.494.2.2smp I see that it has

CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437

while the older /boot/config-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 does not have such a
setting. Though the default codepage for vfat was 437 already before
(see man mount).
I think what you should try is to use the UTF-8 locale and when mounting
your vfat partitions "iocharset=" as a mount option. Please see the vfat
part in the manpage for mount. There is a "codepage=" option too, you
may try that as well with i.e. a value of 850.
