I suspect that something may have changed which had been using UTF-8 and
started using the "file.encoding" property (i.e. the "default encoding"),
rather than an Apple engineer making an actual decision to intentionally
convert to MacRoman.
I also suggest trying the new 1.5 DP7, to see if the problem is still
present. If so, please send an urgent email to Apple that this is badly
broken and desperately needs fixing before final release. If the problem
is fixed, then all I can say is "Whew!".
