The problem is likely with TEXT TO DOCUMENT/Document to text. These have strange defaults, so you have to be very careful about the parameters.
TEXT TO DOCUMENT defaults to UTF-8 and inserts a BOM (which I think is a bug). So you can't read it using DOCUMENT TO BLOB and covert to UTF-8 text without deleting the BOM first. Document to text assumes MacRoman/ANSI if the document does not have a BOM and you don't specify the character set. So if you are saving UTF-8 with a blob, you need to be sure to specify the character set for Document to text to interpret it correctly.
