This was with 2.8.12; I just built wxLua against 2.9.3 and tried again, 
and it's now returning an empty string instead of nil.  I'm building 
with TDM-GCC, if it makes any difference.

require"wx"
a = wx.wxTextEntryDialog(wx.wxFrame(), "test тест テスト")
a:ShowModal()
print(a:GetValue())

The caption appears as "test" and then garbage characters, and if I 
paste "test тест テスト" into the dialog, GetValue returns nil under 2.8 
and an empty string under 2.9.  "test" on its own works as expected.
