Yes, SHP files and encodings is trouble... You can try to force the encoding to 
UTF-8 by adding a .CPG file alongside your SHP file (with the same filename as 
the .SHP). The contents should be a single line of text, saying "UTF-8", 
without the quotes. This will hint the FDO provider for SHP files to use that 
encoding. No guarantee that would fix it though...

Another thing you can do to identify the cause of the problem is try to use a 
constant Cyrillic string as a label for your geometry. If that shows up fine in 
MapGuide, then the problem is upstream (in the FDO provider), otherwise it's a 
problem in the MapGuide code.
