Thank you for the bug report. Please provide a dump file with table/data which presents this issue on your Windows 7?. Thanks.

The error occurs even before the export operation. And then the problem persists when you export the table. Any table. For example see table node_revision.sql (files tab)

How to configure the encoding in the GUI?
