Hm, confirmed, I get similar results:

#: src/barebonesblog/app_templates/index.pt:6
#. Default: "C\303\266ngr\303\241t\303\274lati\303\263ns!"
msgid "head_congrats"
msgstr ""

However, when I use i18ndude (which has the same origins as
i18nextract I think) it works fine:

#. Default: "Ädd réspönse"
#: ../browser/response.pt:80
msgid "title_add_response"
msgstr ""

Usually I either just keep everything in English (so ascii) and do
translations, or directly use the target language of the client (Dutch
in my case) in the templates and python files.
