This seems to be fixed in 1.44, which is only available for Fedora 15 and above for the time being.

Jochen, what shall we do?

Comment 2 Jochen Schmitt 2011-05-05 17:41:05 UTC
In the Changelog.txt file of pdftk-1.44 I have found the following sentence:

Introduced update_info_utf8, dump_data_utf8 and
dump_data_fields_utf8 to provide UTF-8 companions to update_info,
dump_data and dump_data_fields. These latter operations use XML
numerical entities to encode non-ASCII characters. In version 1.43,
we changed the encoding for update_info to UTF-8, but that made it
incompatible with dump_data and also broke some downstream
applications. By introducing these UTF-8 operations, we can revert
update_info to its original behavior.

Because an update may violate our new update policy, I must close this bug with 'Fixed for next release'
