It seems to only like plain Latin-1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export?action=submit&curonly=true&pages=%E6 This is especially confusing when Meta rejects Latin-1 but accepts UTF-8.
In 1.3 it accepts only the native encoding of the wiki.
If this is about it only accepting %E6 and not %C3%86 as Æ then yeah, that's normal, different codepoints mean different things in different character sets, marking it as INVALID.
