For me it's critical, but maybe for others too who haven't even noticed 
the problem. They loose content everytime someone "Save Changes" on a 
PropertyTab with multiple-selects... That's why I'm thinking that this 
bug should be marked as critial.

I don't have much experience with the unicode-converters too... that's 
my problem for this issue...:-(

Abel Deuring told me a patch, which solves the problem in the meanwhile:

In OFS/dtml/properties.dtml I replaced

  <select name="xyz:utf8:list" multiple>

with:

  <select name="xyz:utf8:list:string" multiple>

It works for me, but I'm not sure, if this is a good approach on this 
problem (think of the integers as items for the multiple-select).
