2) I have personally experienced issues using the default Charset values when muxing in Mkvtoolnix…so, I am concerned at the potential for a muxed language sub track displaying garbage characters NOT present in the original .srt file. [This may or may not be the case with German subs issues earlier indicated by Laserschwert and deho, but from a troubleshooting standpoint…it just makes sense to systematically identify and isolate potential causes.]
I have muxed the German srt files with the documentary using the latest version of mkvmerge (with default settings) and ran into zero problems. All characters were displayed correctly. So the German and English subtitles should be ok, I have no idea about the French, Spanish and Polish versions though.

...and while well intended, I don't think there's any inherent value in further maintaining a parallel muxed version (and at 700mb a download)...
I think it would be best to wait for the final versions of all the subtitle files and then mux it again and provide a download link for everyone who isn't interested in getting Harmy's upcoming Blu-ray, but just the mkv of SW DeEd 2.5.
