With LANG=en_US.UTF-8, my system even complains "some characters have been discarded" during the import when I make the .scm file UTF-8 while the qif is latin-1. (Though I haven't changed the other two files in the changeset...).
I need that LANG setting because that's the only way to get gtkprint to use US-letter paper parameters while printing checks. (Unless someone wants to add a gnumeric-style default page setup to gnucash.)
