I solved the problem by saving the prefs.php file as UTF-8.
Maybe there should be a hint added to the config files (at least to the 
description in horde/config/prefs.php.dist) and the config files should 
be distributed as UTF-8 files.

Considering the small change in version numbering, and not delivering 
the config files as UTF-8 and a lot of editors w/o UTF-8 support, maybe 
i'm still wrong and this is only another workaround?
