Thanks for the report.

Opening that file with an UTF-8 text editor HM> properly displays "scale(…)" (found in line 3078, for example). So it looks as if the scripts were operating on bytes not characters, and have taken two bytes of UTF-8 and encoded each byte as a Latin-1 character, the result being encoded again in UTF-8. Eww. Yes, we will fix this of course.
