Confirm.

This problem is a side-effect of using a DomDocument API inside embed_widgets_alter_links function in embed_widgets.module:519 file.

The symptoms were passionately described, for example, there. But their solution doesn't work.

Something that works is given here.

That is, need to replace a line #519 at embed_widgets.module with something like:

$dom->loadHTML(mb_convert_encoding($string, 'HTML-ENTITIES', "UTF-8"));

No patches, sorry, but the fix is trivial.
