I'd like to think that Zend is doing a re-encoding as long as it can read the original.
Probably, the special characters come in a strange encoding from the database?
You should try and align the encoding settings of database and Zend, ie. both UTF-8 or whatever fits best.
From the look of the PNG image above, it looks like the character strings are being entitized as they are put into the dropdown list. This looks like the output of a double trip through htmlentities(). You did it once with this:
12=>htmlentities("Göteborg")
And something in the Zend code did it again.
Not sure what EE will do with the next line, so I will post a small code snippet, too.
Göteborg
It looks like something in the class Zend_Form_Element_Select or perhaps Zend_Form_SubForm is "helping" you by removing fields that contain unusual characters. You might consider using var_dump() to print out the objects are they are created. Then you might be able to find the "helper" code that is deleting the strings. This does not look so much like an encoding question as a simple programming error. Almost as if a ctype filter is applied to the entire string and if any character fails, the string is deleted (instead of the bad character).
It's these kind of things you're using ZF for to avoid..
