Just to close the loop on this, the following works in en_GB.utf8 on 2.8.0:
<<fig=TRUE,echo=TRUE,pdf.encoding=ISOLatin7>>=
pdf.options(enc="ISOLatin7")
ps.options(enc="ISOLatin7")
plot(rnorm(100),main="\u0105\u010D\u0117\u0119\u012F\u0161\u016B\u0173\u017E")

I think the point is that you can use different encodings for different
figures in one Sweave document.
But in R-devel you can now pass any option via the Sweave() call as I at
least expected from the documentation.

OK, the modified R code is:

It does not work correctly with Sweave, as I wrote in my email, I
rechecked. And yes it works if only pdf is used.
It works for me in xpdf, but not Acroread 8.1.3.
Yes, I checked only with evince, and assumed, that Acroread will be
similar. Acrobat 9 (on windows) shows the letters, but they are
bunched up together. Changing the default family to URWHelvetica did
not help either. So that rules out using pdf for me.
I did not find any mention about encodings in ?Sweave, ?RweaveLatex
and ?Rtangle, and Sweave manual and FAQ.
Yes, Sweave is supposedly frozen pending unbundling.
Note that this does work (at least for me) in lt_LT.utf8: it is because you
were in fr_FR.utf8 that you had a problem.
So I think the solution is actually pretty simple: use the correct locale.
I've changed R-patched to take the defaults from pdf.options(), but Sweave
should still be able to set them.
Aah, this does not occured to me. I thought that because locale is
unicode it should not matter which unicode letters I use. That is a
not correct assumption.
Thank you for your answers,
