yes, it has been maddening… multiple times, I went back to the template which 
was saved encoded as unicode, and it looked fine (even showing invisibles, 
those characters were simply ordinary spaces) and I even backspace (deleted) 
anything that could have been offending characters back to the previous 
placeholder and reimported the newly-saved versions and they would still 
generate errors.

I eventually fixed it by taking a template that I know works, and modified it 
by saving (incorporating) the differences that I needed, and then re-importing 
*that*

Which worked, but I remain hopeful the nature / basis of the problem will 
before too long become clearer …
