Try this. In the /importers folder is the control file called mingle.php.
Around line 48 is this line:

$def->utf8_encode = true;

Set that to false, save it and try the import again.

Good news and thanks for letting me know.
That option was a bit experimental and it is on my list to expose that in the form so that it can be set with a checkbox.
