Could one of our iconv/charset people tell me what is going on with bug #590898 that the systems are generating weird queries like that ?

I don't think that this bug was caused by charset conversion, at least because around WebMaster are normal quotes and these messy characters are just around the other words. My guess is that this sql was pasted from some "clever" program which makes automatically opening and closing quotes (aren't they on Windows on these positions? When I convert the text from windows-1252 to iso-8859-1 I get instead these strange chars opening and closing quotes: `Treasurer�).

Any ideas on what can be done or should be done as a solution?
