Hm, still having problems. Is there perhaps a way to forbid MySQL the reencoding when importing a SQL dump, so that Ãœ stays as it is, not encoded to Ãâ€", although it comes from an utf-8 file and goes to a latin1 table? Cause that would solve that tricky problem.
You normally need to instruct mysqldump not to bother messing about with the character set during export; see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki#Character_set.
You may also be able to run the dump file through iconv or similar if it's been corrupted.
