That vcard file is not invalid.

Don't get confused with the way vcard breaks the lines:
It breaks after 75 chars, inserts \r\n and a blank for continuation line.
In that case it breaks between two chars which form a UTF-8 sequence, therefore
kate says illegal char, but the VCard parser joins the lines again BEFORE it
converts the line back to unicode.

I think the parser/converter does it correctly as it also breaks too long lines
when they contain base64 encoded data, so this is like a "transfer encoding".
