The get_header() template tag's generated meta description does not account for foreign chars such as umlauts (ö) used in the page content and creates validation errors.
(Feature Request: Allow user to specify a meta description - if user does not, only then generate one based on page content.)
I think this might be related to the feature here:

If we start adding "custom fields" within the edit field, then this would fall under that.
For the time-being, anyone know how I would code those characters for the description? Would it just be as simple as using htmlspecialchars on the output string?
I think you would use utf8 encode.
<?
header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8');
echo utf8_encode('annoncé');
?>
This encoding issue has been fixed in the next release. Thanks for pointing it out badcat!
Just out of curiosity Chris, what was the problem?
