KBibTeX supports saving BibTeX text either in some character encoding like UTF-8 or in 'LaTeX encoding' which writes out, for example, {\'e}. For files opened, KBibTeX will try to detect and remember the encoding, but you can set the encoding manually later or during a Save As operation, too.
As the 'LaTeX encoding' is the default in various situations, I am wondering if you do something else to switch away from this default?

When saving the bib file, KBibTeX changes all the LaTeX accents (e.g. {\'e}) into characters with accents (e.g. é), which can generate some later problems of compatibility. This is not what we want. LaTeX commands should not be changed. Observed in version 0.8.1 Example: after saving the following bibitem @Article{Lojasiewicz-93, Title = {Sur la g{\'e}om{\'e}trie semi- et sous-analytique}, Author = {{\L}ojasiewicz, Stanislaw}, Journal = {Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble)}, Year = {1993}, Number = {5}, Pages = {1575--1595}, Volume = {43} } has been changed into @article{Lojasiewicz-93, author = {Łojasiewicz, Stanislaw}, journal = {Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble)}, number = {5}, pages = {1575–1595}, title = {Sur la géométrie semi- et sous-analytique}, volume = {43}, year = {1993} }
