In my environment(Delphi 2009(12.0.3420.21218) on Vista(Japanese Edition)), I rebuild your project and run it.
But, I can not reproduce your issue. It works fine.

Any othe information to reproduce your issue?

We tried it on German (European) XP-Professional(32-Bit) and on Win7 (64-Bit). Maybe we have to configure anything on language/region-options? But other components are working fine, it only happens with TClientDataSet.

In your application, you use TStringField for TClientDataSet.
But, we need to use TWideStringField when handling Unicode(e.g., Russian, Japanese, Chinese etc...) characters.
So, please try assign TWideStringField.

Indeed, if I download only 'Project2.exe' you attached and run it on WinXP(English), I can reproduce your issue.
I will test this case with other Delphi versions and OSs.
