The degree sign is mostly represented in HTML entity (°) instead of direct Unicode character (0x00B0, i.e. ˚), so in some menus it shows as HTML (for example in Object -> Rotate 90° etc.)
AFAICT this is a regression introduced in r12132: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/12132
(at least with my archived builds on OS X, it works up to 12131 as expected, with r12132 and later revisions, the text of the menu entry shows the HTML markup instead of the degree sign.)
I presume that all occurences should be changed back to Unicode.
AFAICT there have been no recent changes to the strings (e.g. for 'Object > Rotate') in 'src/verbs.cpp' which ought to be reverted: trunk: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/view/head:/src/verbs.cpp#L2544 0.48.x branch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/RELEASE_0_48_BRANCH/view/...
Related to this, I am not sure what is the part of the first variable here (and other similar strings): <b>Curve segment</b>: angle %3.2f°, distance % s; etc.
