My guess is that this is because the translation you use is not
UTF-8-encoded. I think all of the (GNOME2 branch) translation should
have a UTF-8 charset.

I suggest somebody runs the script

#!/bin/bash
for i in $( ls po/*.po ); do
        msgconv -t UTF-8 $i >> $i.tmp &&
        mv $i.tmp $i
done

in the GNOME 2 branch of GnuCash and re-commits the POs. I'm not sure
whether you like diverging PO files between HEAD and the GNOME 2 branch,
though. If not, it would probably be more wise to wait until the branch
is merged with HEAD and write down that this has to be done.
Anyway, it would be nice to hear whether the conversion helped for your
particular problem.
