Except "cl" and "calendar", other elisp sources seems can be loaded without problem. I don't know what makes the difference, but the error maybe caused by incorrect path encoding. The attached patch works on my machine, but it didn't have enough test. Hopes somebody could improve it.
Does it help to type
C-x RET F cp936 RET
before you evaluate "(require 'cl)" ?
