MythFlix fails to load Queue with UTF-8 characters in movie _title_

Description (last modified by )
I have noticed what seems to be a small problem with MythFlix?, namely that the Queue file is not read if there are odd characters in the movie title. One such title is Mambo Café (that is Mambo Cafe where the e has an accent mark). On my MBE system which is gentoo with a mythtv build of 0.21_p13344 I get the error "Failed to Retrieve News" in MythFlix?, and "MythNews?: failed to set content from xmlfile" in the debug logs.
By hand editing the Queue file to remove this character from the title field, (and setting the permissions on the Queue file so that it does not get overwritten on the next run, I can make this problem go away by replacing the offending character with a standard "e". I have attached 2 small Queue files that can be used as test cases.
In studying the existing trac tickets, I found this one which might be similar.

This changeset applies to the _description_ field of the movie, not the title field, but it seems to be a similar problelm.
I see from a similar topic

Oops, the last lines of my comment above got screwed up. (sorry for self-commenting)
I am trying a fresh build of mythfrontend and mythflix on another machine to see if I can repro this issue on a second platform. When it's done compiling (it's a rather old machine) I will post results.

No update from user and this seems to work fine for me, I copied the title from the sample 'broken' queue file into my own and changed the permissions so it wouldn't be overwritten and I was able to view my queue without any problems. Closing ticket for now.
