Not silently ! Even if this removal is required to go on editing, this must be notified to the user as it may occur in unedited parts of the file (and it may be the sign that the document is not fully plain text, so the user should not save the edited file) If this is caused by a quirk in the user input (defect of the input mode or keyboard layout), there should be a notification.
As long as we are discussing, as Richard is, recommendations for implementers, I fully agree with Phillipe.
Manually editing surrogate corruptions might be something that could be relegated to an "expert mode", but automatic correction without user confirmation ("May we clean up your file?") would indeed be spooky and dangerous.
