That's because the demoronizer filter was turned on by default.  It's the  
only stock filter that operates on a byte-level basis... and it messes up
just the types of things you saw.

Go to our SourceForge download site:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11118&release_id=171550
and pick up the 1.7 version of default.action.  In there, we do a couple
of things: 1) we turn demoronizer off by default, and 2) we turn demoronizer
off for top level domiains likely to have problems (.jp, .cn, .tw, .ru)
in case a user decides to turn it back on by default.
