I just tried to solve this problem by converting the dump file back with the iconv commando (iconv -f utf8 -t latin1 dump.sql).
But it stops executing with "illegal input sequence at position 21051".
This means there is a character which is valid in UTF-8, but not in latin1. Which could be russian, chinese etc. Try the "-c" switch for iconv.
Another possibility is "pconv", a Perl utility which comes with the Encode module:
