Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:2 hamish]:
 > the DBF format dates back to the early 1980s. It's not surprising that
 it doesn't deal well with ascii chars >127. does it fail if you switch to
 a more modern DB as the back-end? (db.connect)

 The error is in the GUI, not the database code. Even if there are problems
 with DBF and non-ASCII characters, it isn't getting that far.

 Is the str() call actually necessary? I would have expected
 `InsertStringItem` to accept a Unicode object.
