If I had the time and could easily do that, I would but pairing my app down to 
just the minimal parts would be time consuming. It would probably be quicker to 
create a brand new app that creates a subclass of UIDocument and see if it 
happens with that. And then I need to figure out how to get my phone in to an 
Arabic locale (which should be easy), but more challenging is to get back out 
since I can't read Arabic and navigating the UI settings might be challenging.

In the meantime, I've asked the person who ran into the problem to create a new 
document that uses Arabic as the filename and see if it happens with the new 
file. 

Thanks,
Dave Reed
