Tested with attached shapefile and dbf file, however, I suspect it has
something to do with the encoding of your shapefile (how was it
created?), because while this file does not work, other shapefiles
(using for example UTF-8) work fine, including other shapefiles joined
with your dbf file.
Can you provide any further details?
