There are two different problems here. The first is special characters, which can be a problem with tex. Unless you're using special TeX programs like XeTeX those aren't accepted. That's not in any way a problem in BibDesk, it really is a feature: it warns you that your data is not compatible with the tex program you use, which really is the primary purpose of the TeX preview. So it;s a problem with your data. The crash in 1.6.0 has nothing to do with special characters. There is a known problem with (external window) Text TeX preview in 1.6.0. It crashes in a child process. The BibDesk program itself isn't crashing, so you don't need to quit. The bottom-window preview (View > Bottom Preview > TeX) does not have this problem. This was fixed in the nightly builds, so you may want to get that. Those should be safe to use, only the localizations are disabled (shouldn't be a problem for you.)
