This problem still exists in 2.6 & 2.7 and should be fixed.
I don't think that there's a good reason not to show text/tokens if management_page_charset is set to ISO-XYZ or something like that.

In the Properties form text and tokens property types are only available when management_page_charset is set to UTF-8. Below is an excerpt from lib/python/OFS/dtml/properties.dtml wchich shows source of the problem:

    <select name="type">
      <option>boolean</option>
      <option>date</option>
      <option>float</option>
      <option>int</option>
      <option>lines</option>
      <option>long</option>
      <option selected>string</option>
      <dtml-if "REQUEST['management_page_charset']=='UTF-8'">
          <option>ustring</option>
          <option>text</option>
          <option>tokens</option>
          <option>utext</option>
          <option>utokens</option>
          <option>ulines</option>
      </dtml-if>
      <option>selection</option>
      <option>multiple selection</option>
    </select>

Attached patch also corrects alphabetical ordering of the options.
