As long as the XML specifies the encoding, I think you should be able to use 
whatever you want. Is the warning a malformed XML error, or something about 
a character entity? Can you give me an example of a search, I'll try to see 
if I can make it a bit more consistent.

That's a bit of a relic from when I coded the export dialog. The locale 
setting only applies to text exports, and the pilot-DB is a binary one, so 
it gets disabled. I should probably special-case the pilot-DB. In any case, 
you're not the first to hit that, you can actually modify the tellicorc 
file directly to do what you need.
