Aye, we've taken a look at this bug in particular, and talked about the
issue for a while.  While all the accounting in bugzilla isn't squared
away yet (funny, that), we've filed
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344219 , which is
2.0.0-targeted.  Obviously, the various importers should actually dialog
with the user about the import file encoding, and do the conversion at
the front-end of the import.  But I don't see a change of that scope
happening for 2.0 at this point, so I think 344219 is going to be the
"fix" in the 2.0 timeframe.
