That's correct.
I should have been more clear:  the error occurs when the config file is 
read by an application with -Dfile.encoding=UTF-16
In that case the config file is tried to be treated as encoded with UTF-16.

The solution is to explicitly specify the charset when the config file 
is opened for reading.

With kind regards,
Ivan
