I also tried to load a document that contained russian and german characters. It worked for both 2.3.1.4 and 3.1.1.1.
Plus it is very strange that only german characters were corrupted. If the initial document had been in UTF-8 and encodings had been accidentally mixed up (for instance with Windows-1251), russian characters must have been transformed as well.
