The same thing happens here when I create an ogg with similar names. 
There are two problems both related to handling of unicode. I see below 
that you have --index turned on. Until mp3togo gets fixed you can work 
around the issue by removing --index from your invocation and adding 
--no-tags. Provided, of course, that you can live without id3 tags in 
your output files. Otherwise you'll have to wait :)

The first problem is the index file that mp3togo can optionally 
generate, which can only handle ascii tags. Fixing this is probably just 
as simple as changing the couple of calls in tags.py that handle the 
index file to use python's unicode file open function:

 >>> import codecs
 >>> ifile = codecs.open(indexname, 'a', 'utf-8')

I'm still looking into the second problem.
