Allan,

I don't think the peculiar character in the citation will affect consuming
software - the citation is just free text.  However, there is clearly a
bug here, and also the error messages earlier are also inappropriate.

I'd appreciate it if you could file a ticket in the liblas Trac and point me
to it so I can fix these problem(s).

Best regards,
