You keep insisting that the Norwegian Blue parrot is alive: :-D

The name comes from the Monty Python's Flying Circus. :-)

In any case I found other cases where the code is wrong (like the BOM removal 
that does not work) and that it does not give an error although it is wrong.

The patch follows attached since I do not have time to test it.

No the issue is if LyX accepts, or not, other encoding that UTF-8. If not all 
the care is useless. Looking to the similar pref2prefs.py we see that it 
assumes utf-8.
