While NetBeans uses UTF-8 for the source code encoding, NetBeans invokes javafxc with the platform default encoding through javafxpackager and String literals become garbage in the compiled binaries. In ja locale, the platform default encoding is wndows-31j (aka MS932). I believe this problem is applicable to other locales. A workaround is to change 'source.encoding' in project.properties from UTF-8 to MS932. (There used to be a selection of source encoding in Project Properties, but it seems to be gone.)
encoding problems are already fixed in trunk & JavaFX SDK trunk
Verified. On 1.1 plugin, project encoding can be specified by the fix for bug 150947.
