Very likely that is the reason.  The title of the rule was taken from
the full subject of one of the messages on this list; this is done
automatically by Message->Create Rule->Filter on Subject.  Unfortunately
I don't remember which one, but many of the subjects contain characters
like these.

Version is Evolution 2.22.3.1 running under Fedora-9, latest revisions.
