I've seen all sorts of weird MULE lossage with BBDB in Emacs over the
last couple of years, but most of the problems went away when I
started using this:

;;; Avoid BBDB getting confused by 8 bit characters:
(if (>= emacs-major-version 20)
    (add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist
                 '("/\\.bbdb\\'" iso-8859-1 . iso-8859-1)))

Unfortunately I think that you need to clean up your .bbdb file "by
hand", i.e., visit it as a regular file and delete all the nonsense
AKAs. Also make sure that you really see the 8 bit characters, and not
octal escapes, if you do there is something wrong with the way Emacs
handles your buffer. Be especially careful to delete everything
containing the infamous \201 character.
