The right place for the fix would be in the XMLEsc function in xml/ 
XMLTagHandler.cpp.  I thought something like this would work,  
encoding non-ASCII characters as hexadecimal:

          default:
             if (c > 127) {
                result += wxString::Format("&#%d;", c);
             }
             else if (c < 0 && c >= -128) {
                result += wxString::Format("&#%d;", 256 + c);
             }
             else if (c < -128) {
                result += wxString::Format("&#%d;", 65536 + c);
             }
             else
                result += c;

It partially works for me - the correct character comes through, but  
another funny character appears also...
