 Incorrect (non-UTF-8) character tag's name and slug are handled in
 different way: name is truncated on 1st such character, and in slug they
 are just removed (no truncation). WP should handle both in the same way -
 drop invalid characters, instead of truncation.

 I found this issue recently. One of the Polish programs for adding posts
 to the Wordpresses does not encode tags in UTF-8 - it left them in
 ISO-8859-2. I notified author of this bug. Unfortunately there are many
 copies around, so it may take a long time before everyone upgrade.
