  Ah, yes.  The standard encoding problems.

  RADIUS usernames are supposed to be UTF-8, but as you can see, the
user isn't following that.

  The solution is probably to hack "sql_safe_chars" to escape characters
above 0x80, or to have it validate UTF-8 strings... and then escape
non-UTF-8 characers.
