I tried importing it with utf-8 like in https://github.com/stamen/terrain-classic/commit/c85ab647913c790db9cb0f3a7e97cac3c5e2dc47, but no difference. We think the shapefile is messed up. Here's QGIS:

For now, the short term hacky-fix will be to do CartoCSS overrides of the names for these few messed-up peaks.

I noticed problems with other mountain Mulhacén in Spain renders "Mulhacn" and maybe could be the same issue.

In OSM the reference for Mulhacén is not rendered but there's a GeoName near where label "Mulhacn" is.

This will be fixed in the next version of Natural Earth – around 50 peaks were affected as far back as v1.4 but exacerbated by bad unicode conversions along the way.
