Default TXT Files with French accented characters

We have discoverd a bug in Word 2002, 2003 and 2007

If you open a .TXT file containing French accented characters, Word opens
the File Conversion dialog box and the default encoding is Japanese (Shift
JIS)

If however, you introduce at least one space before the first accented
character in the TXT file, Word opens the file without going through the File
Conversion dialog box and all the accents are fine.

The Regional Options are set for Canadian Multilingual.

I believe this is a bug in the way Word interprets TXT files.

Has anyone alse seen this before?

Thanks
Al
