This is happening because someone is trying to upload a load profile with malformed UTF-8 characters. There's no reason for a load profile to contain any UTF-8 characters, so while this error is ugly, it's probably for the best since an invalid load profile would not work correctly in a calculation.

What we should do is catch these errors and show the visitor a nicer error message.
