I believe the data loss you are seeing is due to your source records-- 
not to do with character translation. Just running marcdump on them  
generates a ton of errors (see below). I don't have the time to  
investigate what the errors are with your MARC records found "in the  
wild"...but if you have the time to look at the errors, and have  
suggestions on how to improve MARC::Record's handling of them please  
send your suggestions here.
