When you use char as the character type (default), the text in the 
object model is expected to be in UTF-8. What happens here is you
pass a string containing characters that are in another encoding
(ISO-8859-1) and which happen to be invalid in UTF-8. That's why
you get the invalid_utf8_string exception during serialization.

One thing that you can try (apart from converting your strings
to UTF-8) is to recompile your application with the XSD_USE_LCP
macro defined which will make the object model assume text is
in the local code page. What that means exactly depends on the
operating system. See Q&A 1.2 in the C++/Tree Mapping FAQ for
details:
