Hm, that is weird. Are you running on Kolab Server 2.2.4?

This was touched in 2.2.4 and HEAD:

http://kolab.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs-kolab.cgi/server/kolabd/kolabd/templates/php.ini.template.in.diff?r1=1.8&r2=1.9
http://kolab.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs-kolab.cgi/server/kolabd/kolabd/templates/php.ini.template.in.diff?r1=1.7&r2=1.7.2.1

See also the associated issues from the log commit messages:

         kolab/issue919 (kolab server has problems with some characters in
         passwords)

         kolab/issue1880 (Poor handling of apostrophes in ldap and admin
         webpages)

         kolab/issue3654 (Special character issue in Kolab web
         interface (e.g. vacation message))

         kolab/issue3499 (creating/modifying users with special characters
         in name confuses web admin)


Cheers,
