Hello Jeff, I tried creating a contact using your data on http://googlecodesamples.com/oauth_playground/index.php and it worked perfectly for me: the API indeed returned the string Fotografía Profesional Cristina.
Are you sure that your XML parser is reading the document using UTF-8 as it is the encoding used by the API (set in the http header of the response).
