Well, it is not a good idea to have files with UTF8 BOM, it causes you lots of complications. So the interim solution is to remove that yourself.

The import itself is done by Drupal (whether with autolocale module or Drupal 6 built-in), not autolocale, so the Drupal importer cannot handle such files then. Which means this should be fixed there.

OK, here is a patch for review. Since there was a second guy who came with this problem (also from Hungary), and this really looks straightforward to fix, why not do it? Please review!
