I think your error is probably caused by an invalid utf8 octet
sequence in a string.

I think the basic problem here is that the MIDI file contains some
sort of event with text in it, and we have no way of knowing what
character encoding was intended for that text -- so we just assume
utf8 (which is almost always going to be wrong in practice, but it's
easy and theoretically universal).

Super-low-priority feature request here:

What I don't quite understand is why you should be seeing those
errors at the point of loading the file.  The error is generated
by XmlExportable::encode in base/XmlExportable.C, and that's
generally only used when exporting XML, most likely to a .rg file.
