They understand enough to know they're getting some junk in addition to the
text they want; keyboard traversal is weird, and the "junk" may be affecting
rendering behavior.

Just because it's easier if users simply not do this, does not mean that they
don't (or that they shouldn't). You could argue that there is no reasonable way
this could work; perhaps, but - I very much doubt it. While we have not
demonstrated that there can be no reasonable choice of characters to filter
(say, a language-specific or locale-specific choice) - we should entertain the
possibility that it does exist. And assuming it exists - I believe should offer
it, to make this kind of work easier for users.
