it is of course not easy to to be certain, but it seem to be a font-encoding
problem.

This should fix the problem, however, your LaTeX error makes me suspect that
you did not enclose your compound characters with curly braces {}.
Have a look at my an example from my BibTeX file:
@Inbook{ANDRIANJAKA2000,
author = { M. Andrianjaka },
title = { Etudes ph{\`e}nologiques de quelques esp{\`e}ces
ligneuse de la for{\^e}t d'{A}mbohitantely },
pages = { 29-36 },
year = 2000,
editor = { J. Ratsirarson and S.M. Goodman },
publisher = { Cidst and WWF, Antananarivo },
chapter = {II},
booktitle = { Monograpie de la for{\^e}t d'Ambohitantely }
}
hope this helps, Ingar
