I would use emacs-mule, or an iso-2022 encoding.  Thus load your
.bbdb, see wether it loads correctly, use C-x C-m c and save with the
new coding system under another name, change the setup (coding: tags,
variable settings), reload the file, check, save as .bbdb.  Restart
Emacs, try BBDB.  Should work now.
