I'm not actually sure why I requested this to be created as a bug report.

I've just reviewed the original ticket and the current process that we follow.

Even if the location is pulled directly from Facebook and inserted into the Location field on registration, an error only occurs if fullUnicode is set to true in config.php and the database tables haven't been converted yet.

Due to the way we use this data, this shouldn't matter, and otherwise it's just highlighting an issue that needs to be resolved anyway (setting fullUnicode to false or running the conversion script).
