I can confirm this bug in 0.8.6.release.c-0ubuntu5.

But in my case it happens even if the media file and the .txt file have
different names, but only if the media file

If I have a media file and a .txt file in the same folder, I get a
dialog box stating:

The following errors occured.  More details might be available in the
Messages window.

Unrecognized format for '/path/to/file/name_of_file.txt'

If I have a file "media.wma" and a file "text.txt" in a folder, and I
play the media file in vlc, no errors.  However, if I give the file a
non-ACSII name, for example, "안녕하세요.wma", then I get errors.  I also get
the same errors that K8BeBop gets if I rename the media file to match
the text file.  Here is the output in the terminal:
