According to the release notes, the Mac OS X 10.4.9 updater “Addresses an issue in which incorrect encoding could be used for the files created by the New Text File Automator action on Intel-based Macs.”
So for those of you with Intel Macs who use the New Text File action and are having encoding errors, your prayers have been answered!
Excellent! I just ran into this bug a couple of days ago and figured it was due to PEBKAC error and not an actual error in the actions.
And here I figured perhaps my text really had been in Mandarin Chinese :)
