I had the same issue and it was a character set issue. Here is the code that
I used to fix my application:
cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="iso-8859-1">
<cfset setEncoding("form","iso-8859-1")>
<cfset setEncoding("URL","iso-8859-1")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Unfortunately, This was a straight upgrade from CF5 to CFMX and I haven't
changed anything about the way it handles char encoding. I am playing with it
some now, but do you have an example of the things I might need to change,
tags/etc to get this to work?
