There is an issue with some characters in Flickr: http://i43.tinypic.com/3445gf5.png My Flickr user name is the same as here, in case you want to check where that error comes from.

Is the description copied from Flickr to G+? Any other data like comments, location?

Looks like some corner case. Thanks for pointing it out, will check.

On all pictures and albums caption is copied over. It is not possible to copy over comments as g+ user to fb user cannot be done deterministically.

Not sure if it's a good idea, but maybe someone would enjoy the option of copying the comments as flat text added to the caption. Like "Caption first... Flickr comments: 1. bla 2. bla"

That seems like a good idea. Will try to implement that! Thanks.
