Spend half the day trying to sort this out. The above error was because
the XML parser returns "Invalid character" on a string "æøå" - even if
charset is set to iso-8859-1.

Now, I actually have come to some sort of solution, that seems to work.
The trick is to use utf8_encode()/utf8_decode() and force flexform XML
to charset utf-8.

The theory is that double encoded string:

$str = utf8_encode(utf8_encode($str));

is still utf-8 and can be decoded by

$str = utf8_decode(utf8_decode($str));

Thus this should work for both utf-8 and iso-8859-1.

I've attached two diff's to this message which you can take a look at.
