This is sometimes caused by users pasting content from windows applications
into  the back end; you should be able to prevent it by forcing the BE
charset from the install tool. Look for :

[BE][forceCharset]

...and set it to whatever's most appropriate (could be iso-8859-1, could be
utf-8 etc...)
