Thanks guys. For the benefit of anyone following up on this in the future, I
solved my problem in my offending file with:

iconv -f LATIN1 -t UTF-8 methods.output.func.R >> methods.output.func.R

That line triggers a knee-jerk reflex with me (possibly unfairly since it apparently did the job). I have always learned that using the same file for input and output is asking for trouble: if something goes wrong on the way, you end with neither of them. I'd do

iconv -f LATIN1 -t UTF-8 methods.output.func.R > xxxx
mv xxxx methods.output.func.R
