I get an error from BibDesk on that file, and the message suggests using a 
different encoding.  My default in BibDesk is UTF-8, and that file is encoded 
as ISO Latin 1.  So in this case, you're likely seeing an encoding problem; if 
you open that file with a text editor and the Stöber looks wrong, it'll be 
wrong if you copy-paste it.  This happens regardless of format, by the way.

The safest way to open is to use File->Open and choose the correct encoding in 
BibDesk.
