--- Comment #15 from Martin Renvoize <martin.renvoize at ptfs-europe.com> ---
Hmm,  whilst this certainly resolves the core issue.. I'd have loved to have
seen some form of warning to the end user that their input data has been
manipulated.

I'm not close enough to the differences between MARC-8 and UTF-8 encodings to
know exactly what we're losing during the save.. the test case highlighted here
is simple.. just dropping a hidden character.. no harm done.. however, might
there be cases where the mis-encoded string getting stripped would result in
worse data from the human perspective?  It would be good to somehow catch these
sorts of misconfigurations and try to encourage end users to fix them.
