CJK characters garbled in MSG files (MailContentTransformer)

Server: Alfresco 3.4.d on Ubuntu 10.04, MySQL (UTF-8) DBI'm getting reports from users that text extraction is broken for double-byte characters (Chinese in my case) in Outlook MSG files. The rest of the email text is extracted correctly, but the Chinese characters look like this: @z/NHaI enabled

Can anybody please try this test MSG file in their Alfresco installation? It's written in a mix of Latin and Chinese (Traditional) characters:
