"ANSEL - currently will not import. Gives warning Error: cannot convert GEDCOM file from ANSEL encoding to UTF-8 encoding. Later releases of webtrees may include translation from ANSEL to UTF8, but this is not a simple process."
So yes, a bug of sorts, but a known one (hence the error message), that is not high on the list of To-Do's, so I'll mark this as "wishlist".
