Comment (by ctimko):

 Ok, I have some more data:

 Debug:
 /Users/ctimko/Documents/workspace/qgis/src/core/qgsvectordataprovider.cpp:
 144: (setEncoding) error finding QTextCodec for SHIFT-JIS

 Doesn't look like QTextCodec supports Japanese.  This error was created
 when I set the encoding within xml as shift-jis.

 Now, loading the file again with the shift-jis as the XML encoding, and I
 told the dialog to use System, this removed the error (of course), but
 it's attempt at parsing the file resulted in a crash. I will try with
 other foreign encodings.
