Um, thank you. I've seen something like this before. Will get on and
check the fix.

The symbols you are seeing is probably UTF-8 treated as us-ascii. I've
seen it as an artifact of 'tidy html' which is used by default on the
translation toolkit we build the error pages with. I just have to check
that is true and update the sources to leave the generated files
slightly mangled.

They are almost the same. The base templates are in templates/ERR_* for
copying and adding your own ones in templates/* too.

That is the big difference, that your local templates always go in
templates/* or a custom directory (with error_default_language pointing
at it).
