Does your pofile have the correct encoding declared? It should say something 
like

msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8"

(actually it's likely that there are lots of other "headers", but the point is 
that Content-Type should be one of them and it should declare a charset. 
Locale::Maketext::Gettext twigs on this to figure out how to decode.)
