I suggest to use ASCII with LICR (LaTeX internal character representation)
macros like {G{\"u}nter Milde}. This has the advantage, that you can use the
bib-file with documents in different encodings.
Maybe Jabref supports exporting the bib-file in ASCII with LICRs.
(BTW: LyX does support ASCII for the LaTeX export).
