Comment:

 That does make more sense now - was never 100% sure about the UTF-8 cause.

 After doing more tests, I can conform this and the linked post content
 problem occur when the database is using something like "latin_swedish_ci"
 as the table collation as one of the blogs we run has "utf8_general_ci"
 and that does not suffer this problem.

 As for page encoding, that seems set as ISO-8859-1 on those non UTF-8
 blogs in the database 'options' table.

 So it looks like both problems will affect older blogs before 'DB_CHARSET'
 in wp-config became utf8 by default at a guess?

 As a side note - I've also found the same problem in the comments editor
 too but not completely sure where in the code yet.
