Ok, that was indeed to be expected.

Yes, I believe some compiler changes need to be made. Resourcestrings 
should have the encoding of the source files, if you encode your source 
file in utf-8, the resourcestrings will have to be encoded in utf-8.
No idea what processing currently occurs. The compiler will see the
string constants as widestring constants, then must do some conversion 
back to ansistring to get them into the resourcestring tables.
