Yes, no problem.  Using the just-committed pdfmom,

  pdfmom -k typsetting.mom > typesetting.pdf

at the command line produces a clean pdf with no warnings.  Without
the -k flag, the pdf prints gibberish where the accented characters
go, but with no warning.  The only way I can approximately reproduce
what you're seeing is to set the file's fileencoding back to latin-1
and run pdfmom with the -k flag, which spits out

  can't find special character `uFFFD'
                                ^^^^^
Not sure how to track down what's going on when everything's working
fine here.
