Creator uses the system locale to decode and encode files. Modern Linux 
systems tend to use UTF-8 reardless of the language, so it definitely should 
have saved the 'ä' correctly.  What does "locale" report?

Next creator version will allow to load/save files with different encodings, 
and also to set a different encoding for a project. But again: if you create 
and reload the file yourself, the encoding should have been "system" each 
time, likely UTF-8, and it should just have worked.
