Weird. I just did the usual commit writing using TM. However: I did 
cut and paste FredB's name from Eudora. I wouldn't think that would 
mess things up, but maybe that bypassed TM's usual reencoding into 
UTF8? These encodings are definitely not my strong point.

Ah, the answer is...

This was the problem. I don't go out of my way to save in Latin 1, 
but I think either Fred's original email or Eudora's representation 
is such, and that carried over into TM.  I now changed it to your 
suggested setting.
