What version of ruby and ohai are you running on these hosts? If you're not 
on the latest version, can you try upgrading ohai? We've made some fixes 
recently for multibyte characters, but maybe we have more work to do.

You can also find more information in the couchdb logs.

And yes, you can disable ohai plugins that you don't want:
