Comment (by DD32):

 > Well, a workaround could be to parse the database and correct the
 incorrect value. Removing and reinserting hundred of entries manually is
 just not feasible...

 Yeah, point taken that its not a viable solution to manually correct them,
 However, Until an actual bug(Other than a configuation error) is
 determined, Theres not much that could be done.

 Dont take my word as an end-all, because its not, And i'm not really
 interested in debating the point, But, From what i can see, It appears to
 be a configuration issue with certain settings(utf8), if thats the case,
 then i'll leave it to someone who understands those issues more, From what
 i know, utf8 is a pain at present in !WordPress while wanting to support
 older versions of PHP/MySQL, and as such, it might not be a simple fix if
 its happening between the Database class and the database server.
