So maybe the line will not be reproduced accurately by gmane, but you get the idea. This line is automatically generated at the beginning of the file by BibDesk (and if I remember correctly by some other bib tools too. Something we should get rid of sooner or later...)
Interesting, I use bibdesk also but it doesn't produce such things for me. Perhaps it has to do with what kinds of characters you use in the entries, I tend to stick with english characters. It should be fixed now, I made the parser a bit more lenient, and it just skips anything it does not understand (it was expecting every entry to be a book/article entry, with citekeys etc)
