I've run into this a lot recently. It can be difficult when you are importing from a data source that may have less clean data, and tracking down something like an illegal non-breaking space character in a value is a major pain, especially when it can't even be seen in the UI message. These sorts of characters are already normalized on input in other places in MediaWiki, so it makes sense to just silently normalize rather than give the user a vague error they may or may not be able to fix, or expect them to do all their own normalization on data sources before importing.
