When migrating a huge site to Disqus I ended up using the command-line tool
xmllint* to track down all the strange little encoding failures in the WXR
file created by WP that Disqus was choking on. If you're using XML at all
that might help. It was the only thing I could find that was sensitive
enough to pick up all the issues that would cause Disqus to fail.

Not sure if that helps you at all. There may be other tools that will have
a similar effect of scrubbing whatever kind of data you have that you are
importing to WP.
