I think my suggestion from the other day is useful also.

Omar Kilani and I have spent a few hours looking at the problem. For
situations where there is a lot of invalid encoding, manual fixing is just
not viable. The vim project has a kind of fuzzy encoding conversion which
accounts for a lot of the non-UTF8 sequences in UTF8 data. You can use vim
to modify your text dump as follows:
vim -c ":wq! ++enc=utf8 fixed.dump" original.dump

I think this is a viable option for people with a non-trivial amount of
data and don't see manual fixing or potentially losing data as a viable
option.
Thanks,
Gavin
