I have managed to trace the problem back to using json_encode in ProxyHandler.phpjson_encode (according to php.net) only works on utf8 strings.
to solve the problem, I have changed the code to run utf8_encode on the response before calling json_encode. I'd rather not create a patch as I think it would be more appropriate to create a JIRA ticket/task and check other areas of the code where this may be relevant.
