I changed the relevant line in /lib/config.php 
so that FieldSeparator = \xff . That seems to have 
done the trick, at least with regard to this particular 
page (so far so good). 

Thank you!

While we are on this subject, could I trouble you for 
advice on how to insert the control character \xff 
directly into the MySQL database via the command line? 
I tried inserting '\\xff' but that just inserts the actual 
string, doesn't it...
I would like to see if anything different happens using 
that method vs. the above method. 

One last thing. Are there any things to look out for 
when putting brackets [] around a utf-8 string in phpWiki, 
so as to define it? I notice that one such string is getting 
defined in one place, but that string is not being highlighted 
when it turns up in a different location (the definition is 
not being picked up). Also, I guess phpWiki is set not to 
ignore underscores _ in such a string, by default? A string 
with such an underscore was successfully defined, but that 
definition also did not stick. 

Thanks!
