Confirmed on Windows XP, Inkscape 0.47 and r9535.

The text added to the svg title and metadata title elements is not encoded to UTF8.

Workarounds:
1. Replace <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Iso-8859-1" standalone="no"?> in the SVG file. If you save the file again, the encoding is reset to UTF-8 but the titles are correctly encoded.
2. Remove the title elements values in the SVG file.
3. Use the Metadata dialog to set the title instead of the title field in the Save as dialog.
