I'm sorry, but I don't know how to deal with charset problems.  Heck,
I don't even know how create a buffer with charset:windows-1251.

Here some hints if you want do debug this:

SLIME uses (restricted) s-expressions to communicate with Lisp.  The
sexps are PRINTed/READ to transmit them.

The functions to fix are probably slime-prin1-to-string or
slime-net-send.  It could be enough to convert the string with
encode-coding-string before sending.

It's probably good to set swank::*log-events* to true and/or use
ethereal.
