Sounds like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167517 .  There
is a patch there as well, but I'm not sure why it hasn't been taken
in.

NM people: Is the patch b0rken in some way?  Because of this bug,
NetworkManager works for me in about half the places I try it.  I'd be
willing to take a stab at patching it, too, but not until someone
tells me what's wrong with the one already there. :)

(A weakness of the patch is that it assumes latin-1 as the only
fallback charset.  I'm not sure what would be smarter - substituting
all non-utf8 characters with "-" or something would be pretty ugly,
but at least it would be the same ugly for everyone...)
