Summary: Decoding error while processing [[en:Chişinău]]

Initial Comment:
I'm almost sure this is not a bug so I'm putting it here in Support Requests.
When I try to process the page [[en:Chişinău]] (with bot account on 'en'), I get the following result:

X:\>interwiki.py -lang:en Chi%C5%9Fin%C4%83u

Checked for running processes. 2 processes currently running, including the curr
ent process.
Getting 1 pages from wikipedia:en...
[[Chisinau]]: [[en:Chisinau]] gives new interwiki [[lt:Kisiniovas]]
[[Chisinau]]: [[en:Chisinau]] gives new interwiki [[lv:Kisineva]]

(...output ommited deliberately...)

======Post-processing [[en:Chisinau]]======
Updating links on page [[en:Chisinau]].
Exception in Page constructor
Dump en (wikipedia) saved
Traceback (most recent call last):

    ignorepage = wikipedia.Page(page.site(), iw.groups()[0])

    % (site, title, insite, defaultNamespace)

    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_map)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 28-34: character maps to <undefined>
================

I belive it's an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence somewhere in the page but I'd like someone more experienced to verify this.
Thanks.
