I encountered the same issue when developing my library for accessing their JSON API. In the code that handles the response I had to strip those characters out in order to properly decode the string as JSON.

Line 113:

$this->responseJson = preg_replace('/[\x00-\x1F\x80-\xFF]/', '', $responseJson);
