I've put in logging on the java page when bringing back the message, and its coming out incorrectly with ? instead of the special characters, so its nothing to do with the html I believe.
I've since learned that the fact that im using Windows may also be having an effect as it may be saving the file in a format that is unexpected by Tapestry, but im only hedging a guess there really. Thanks for the feedback so far, its been great.
