Importing an UTF-8 encoded MARC21 MARCXML record that has leader value in
position 09 equal 'a' (unicode) makes non-ascii characters like 'ä' to be
replaced with character '�'.

The command being run is

> misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -biblios -file record.marcxml -m=MARCXML -v -v


I tracked this problem down to the line

> $MARC::File::XML::_load_args{BinaryEncoding} = 'utf-8';

If you add that line again as first thing in the RECORD label block further
down in the bulkmarcimport.pl the problem is fixed.
