I suspect that there is koi-8 data passed somewhere when utf-8 is 
expected. Can you dump single entry from your address book to ldif 
format, and see whether:
1. it contains only 7-bit data (koi-8 chars should be encoded).
2. balsa can treat it as ldif address book

You can post such an entry to the list for further testing, if needed.

Look at libbalsa/address-book-ldap.c . You might also compare 
libbalsa/address-book-ldif.c
