What is the character that is failing? How to reproduce?

Based on context, probably a C-Cedilla ( ç ).

Having trouble reproducing the problem, seems to process them fine for me. Has this been patched?

It's a matter of charset encoding. Their server doesn't specify any charset encoding within the Content-Type header. The browser start searching for the meta tag - that's simply not there, being generated afterwards - reverting to default content type. Possible solutions (I'm not an expert of md-page):

Setting the charset encoding directly from Apache (wise)
Putting the JS and the Markdown inside an html template that pre-defines the charset meta tag (it should work without duplicates, am I correct?)
Saving the file not as UTF-8 but UTF-8 with BOM

I've just set up a small demo:

With content-type charset: http://tests.codingwh.com/md-page-accent/
Without: http://tests.codingwh.com/md-page-accent/without
With BOM: http://tests.codingwh.com/md-page-accent/bom/

It happens, obviously, only if the default charset of the browser is different from utf8 :D
