The reason is that BibDesk does not accept non-ASCII characters in the
citekey (mittelbach1962röntgenkleinwinkelstreuung), but both Google Scholar
and dx.doi.org generate BibTeX with UTF8 citekeys. I personally made a
small script to "clean" bibtex before importing it - regenerate citekey,
remove keyword field (I hate when I get 8 new keyword categories just from
importing one article).
I raised this as a bug report, but the developers closed it because the
BibTeX specs (designed in 1985) do not allow for UTF8 citekeys. (Personally
I think there should be an option to disregard the citekey completely and
generate a new one according to your own preferences).
You can see the bug I filed here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3489467&group_id=61487&atid=497426
The code I'm using to clean up citations is here
https://github.com/houshuang/folders2web/blob/master/utility-functions.rb#L68-78-
note that it's part of a bigger project, so it might require a bit of
work to extract.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
