Thanks go out to John Hansen, he recommended to run the dump through iconv:

  iconv -c -f UTF8 -t UTF8 -o fixed.sql dump.sql

This seems to strip out invalid UTF8 and will allow for a clean
import.  Someone should add this to the Release Notes/FAQ..
Yes I think that's extremely important to put in the 'upgrading/back compatibiliy' section for these release notes.
