I have a fix for this that "works for me" The chars get mangled with a call to:
line_utf8 = g_locale_to_utf8 (line, -1, NULL, NULL, NULL));
in dialog-bi-import.c

Removing this (plus some other edits) solves the issue "for me" because my input file is already in UTF-8 Unicode  but I have no idea how this would affect Windows or Mac machines or other file encodings.

I'll commit it to git maint for testing.

I guess I should move this to devel list?
