Loading *some* helpers causes gibberish before view output

Unfortunately I can't offer a direct solution to this but I was receiving the same results and was able to remove it by commenting out this line in my header file:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

After I commented that out the gibberish went away.

Like I said, this isn't a solution but maybe another piece in this confusing puzzle.
