Yes, I can confirm the problem.  An important thing that you did not
mention in your post is that the problem does not occur with
characters that are representable in latin1 encoding.  So in Hungarian
the two problematic characters are =FB and =F5 (\[UDoubleAcute] and \
[ODoubleAcute] for those whose newreader does not like UTF8).

Here's a test case:

ImportString[ExportString["\[UDoubleAcute]\
[ODoubleAcute]","PDF"],"PDF"]
