------- Comment #2 from Jan Schmidt  2006-05-15 09:50 UTC -------
This file does contain bad UTF. It has UTF strings that start with a UTF-16LE
BOM marker followed by a UTF-16BE BOM marker, and then contains data that is
actually UTF-16BE. 

I have no idea which tag writer wrote this, but it's busted.

Anyway, the patch I'm about to attach and commit reworks the string parsing a
little, and adds a workaround that strips all BOM markers, using the innermost
(last) one, and then to tries interpreting UTF16 strings in both endiannesses
if the indicated one isn't correct.

With this patch I get this from the file:
