I'm not sure why this is happening, but this is the character used in 
1.3.3.x and earlier for a soft carriage-return, and causes problems if 
you use an xml parser.
Have never seen it within Scribus while saving though. Perhaps it's in 
the ASCII file?

Maybe try saving the text to a file, then re-importing to the frame.
