Comment (by sheeptastic):

 I have just experienced the same problem, but it may have a different
 cause so it may need a different thread. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

 The problem occurs with pictures that have special Scandinavian characters
 in the IPTC description field - specifically the 'ÆØÅ' characters.
 Whenever I would upload a picture like that, WP fails to report the size
 of the picture (0x0) and breaks the encoding of the special characters
 when it autofills the description field. When I took these characters out
 of the description field and reuploaded the picture, I had no problems.
 Tried it on a vanilla 3.2.1 install.

 The picture was exported using Lightroom 3.4, which, as far as I can dig
 up, should export metadata in UTF8; this might be a LR problem, but in any
 case, there is a problem with the upload/metadata interpreter.

 This is the offending picture:

 Let me know what other information would be needed to debug this problem.
 Hopefully someone can reproduce it with the picture above.
