Ah ha. Another comment from someone upstream: 

"The SFD is defined to be in ASCII, and strings with characters outside
this repertoire are normally encoded as UTF-7. You can see this in the
handling of the name table, for example. However, the Copyright line isn't
treated this way. Examination of sfd.c in the current (20090923) tarball
shows that Copyright only has EOL-escaping performed, so it can only be
ASCII.

I think that correcting this would need the format definition changing to
UTF-7 encode the Copyright line as well.

The locale of the user shouldn't matter for reading and writing of these
files."
