Hi Erik,
an interesting coincidence -- only yesterday there was similar report on
f2b mailing list from a RHEL user:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20120124231706.GF16995%40onerussian.comforum_name=fail2ban-users
and I have tried to replicate but failed so far... and I did use syslog-ng as
well... just now mentioned that I was using 0.8.6-1 not 0.8.6-2 but I don't
think those changes were relevant (although who knows...)
will need to dig in some time.
thanks for the report

Dear Maintainer,
When using the logging target SYSLOG, the entries seem to be
prepended by a UTF-8 BOM. less says:
Jan 25 02:13:08 ppc624 U+FEFFfail2ban.actions: WARNING [ssh] Ban
62.217.123.133
Jan 25 02:23:08 ppc624 U+FEFFfail2ban.actions: WARNING [ssh] Unban
62.217.123.133
hexdump -C shows prior fail2ban.actions: 'ef bb bf'
(maybe I had not noticed this, if my syslog-ng configuration were
not confused by it)
