Title block works with UTF8, but not with UTF8 with BOM

[rric]

Seen with pandoc-1.10.1 under Win7:

Say I have a short document which starts with a title block, such as

% Working with UTF8
% Roland Richter
% February 2013
Working with UTF8 might be tedious, but it's not that hard.

When I invoke pandoc -f markdown -t latex -o file.tex file.txt on that, the following happens:

• If the file was stored as UTF8 (no BOM), then everything goes fine; i.e. the title block is correctly interpreted, and converted into LaTeX source

• If, however, the file was stored as UTF8 with BOM, the title block is not recognized. Instead, the LaTeX output looks like this:

  \begin{document}

   % Working with UTF8 % Roland Richter % February 2013 Working with
  UTF8 might be tedious, but it's not that hard.

  \end{document}

I think I've resolved this. Please test it with your UTF8/BOM
file and let me know.

Or, if you can't easily install from source, upload a test
file I can use.
