I recently added a Rake task to one of our builds which checks for the exact problem mentioned in GP, after having 3 separate occasions in the last 6 months where OSX "smart" characters have changed the encoding of a file consumed by things expecting pure ascii. Unfortunately it is a bit of a hack that shells out to "file -i", but I'll take it over hours of frustration.
