Err... am I missing something? These are perfectly good UTF-8. I just 
pulled them from the DB and they're great.
They seem to be fine in the latest planet dump as well.

I think the bug maybe your end if you're seeing anything other than the 
"ä"s ("latin small letter a with diaeresis" (umlaut), UTF-8 C3A4) I do.
