The display issues appear to have been fixed with the earlier round of
character encoding fixes, but reconciliation is still failing to return any
results, despite the fact there is a perfect match, so let's focus this bug on
that piece of things.
I'm not sure at this point whether the problem is with Refine or with the
Freebase reconciliation service.

As I've done more reconciliation recently I've noticed a large number of misses
for things which are in Freebase due, apparently, to a stale reconciliation
service index, so it's possible the reconciliation miss was due to this rather
than the diacritic.
More data/investigation needed...

The reconciliation service sucks, but as far as I can tell it doesn't suck any
worse for international characters. I downloaded a spreadsheet of 90 buildings
with names beginning "Casa" to test with.
For 8 with accented names, it automatched 2, got no candidate at all for 3, got
the correct candidate as the top scorer for the other three, but the score
wasn't high enough to automatch.
For non-accented 82 names: 14 automatched, 16 no candidate, 52 with scores too
low to automatch.
Note that since these all came from Freebase to start with, they should all be
guaranteed to match. My conclusion - it sucks, but doesn't suck any worse for
accented characters.

Tom, did the spreadsheet have any other additional columns that contained
metadata that could have also been matched as a disambiguator with the
additional checkbox for a property on buildings or structures ? (the use of
additional columns to reconcile uses Collin's older recon service, which sucks
sometimes, sometimes not, depending on domains) Curious, if that would have
changed the scoring. Can you test ?
