Could you check what the "charset" field in the OSCAR message is set to?
It's possible that it's set to UCS-2BE, when it should be ASCII (all
OTR-encoded messages are ASCII after being encrypted and base64-ified).

But I don't have a Windows box, so I can't test this theory.  Can
someone do a OSCAR protocol dump of what the Miranda OTR plugin is
outputting?
