Please check your encoding. This works for me with an old 7.4 version:
gvim -u NONE -N --noplugin --cmd ":set encoding=utf8" c:\Users\cbrabandt\Documents\all.reg
this one doesn't:
gvim -u NONE -N --noplugin c:\Users\cbrabandt\Documents\all.reg

Also note, you probably need :set fencs=ucs-bom which should be the
default.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
