Debian bug: QIF import causes data loss

[Derek Atkins]

The first thing that comes to mind is "The QIF importer doesn't deal
with charset/encoding and doesn't do any kind of conversion", which
would mean that it's possible to push a non-utf8 character string into
the data set through the importer.  That could be what's happening.
