Well, that was a red herring. The problem, in case anyone was wondering, lay in my editor: Dreamweaver. Don't ask me why a file created in Dreamweaver would display fine on its own but puke when it was included inside a FB framework, but it did. I switched the whole operation to BB Edit and voila, my encoding problems disappeared the first time I saved. Good old BBEdit! Thanks again for all of your help.
