Failure reading vCards due to encoded PHOTO

I'm using BitPim 0.90.3. I am trying to import vCards. One of my entries has a 
PHOTO in it. I get an exception that utf8 cannot read "0xff". If I remove the 
photo it reads the whole file just fine. I believe it is decoding the binary 
and then trying to read it as text, although it is marked as binary data. I 
am willing to share the entire file via private email if need be.

=== Exception:

BitPim version: 0.9.03-Gentoo
An unexpected exception has occurred.
Please see the help for details on what to do.
