Char encoding issue when the 'system user' create a discussion with comment integration

Hi,
First of all, a big thanks to the team who is behind Vanilla Forums, amazing piece of software.
I deployed it alongside wordpress and the comments are integrated with vanilla.
Regarding the encoding issue, the website is multilingual (english/french) and the accents in french words (é è à ò ï ...) are correctly displayed in wordpress and also in vanilla when I create a discussion from vanilla or if we add comments (from vanilla or wordpress).
The only case where accents are not properly displayed is when the system user automatically create a discussion from a wordpress post.
I've been troubleshooting for a while. Encoding is utf-8 in wordpress and the vanilla database as well.
If I could get some insights about which code convert a wordpress post into a vanilla discussion, maybe I could find a way to fix this.
I'm about to check the vanilla forum wordpress plugin in case but if you guys have any clues, let me know - that would be very helpful.
All the best,
G.

Hello,
I have the same problem.
Did you find a solution ?
Best regards,

Nope, didn't have a look for a while.
Started to look again today but can't find the source of the encoding issue.
Seems like the same problem is described here: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/20945/comment-integration-czech-encoding
... but in my case, the Unicode character set is declared in both WP and Vanilla headers.
Has to be in the vanilla-forum WP plugin but can't see where.
Any ideas?
Regards, G.
How about you? Any luck?

Any news fellas?
I can see the issue reported twice in the support forum for the plugins but no reactions in both cases:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-comments-problems-with-characters
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-vanilla-forums-persian-language-problem
That's the only bit missing before I go live with my WP/Vanilla combo.
Thanks for helping.
