Suddently, I'm getting this 100% repeatable error:

I thought the whole point of using an XmlWriter was that it would translate the
chars into legal XML.

Are you perhaps trying to write out XML in an encoding like US-ASCII that does not include the character 'é'?
What are you XmlWriterSettings exactly when you get that error?
