Hey folks, I'm replying to an old thread about a problem with "manage.py loaddata" generating a BOM (byte-order-mark) that "manage.py dumpdata" refuses to load. I just ran into this same problem and found that, in my case, the problem is not "loaddata", but powershell which I was running under. Apparently powershell adds a BOM when redirecting output. For example, a simple "echo foo > somefile" also adds a BOM. Seeing the original poster was also using Windows, perhaps he was also using powershell (the regular Windows cmd.exe does not seem to have this behaviour).
For me, the solution was to just use a different shell, or use the "--output" option to dumpdata. Gr.
