It's possible that the data in the metadata.xml files is
accidentally being "converted" again to utf-8, although the file is
supposed to be utf-8 in the first place and so shouldn't get
converted. Did you have html entities in the metadata.xml file? If so,
you could try replacing them with the proper utf-8 codes for the accent
characters.

I don't know that much about the metadata.xml stuff, so maybe someone
else can look into this...
