Hm, no:

Server characterset:    latin1
Db     characterset:    latin1
Client characterset:    latin1
Conn.  characterset:    latin1

Independent of this, shouldn't the migrations have made the tables UTF-8 
anyway?  (I've cc-ed Tom, who seems to be the most likely person to know 
this...)

I'll arrange to change the tables to utf8_general_ci collation manually 
and try again.
