It does look like a bug in BeautifulSoup. :(
Having grabbed the page with wget, edited it with vim, it does have <92>
bytes in there.
The real problem is Python and it's unicode handling, it's not very good
but the fix is simple. :)
Change line 352 in /usr/lib/python2.4/site.py from:
encoding = "ascii" # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()
to:
encoding = "iso-8859-1" # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()
