I don't know about CJK, but with European and cyrrlic characters there
shouldn't be a problem if you load the correct encoding; I once did
some (rathe simple) stuff with cyrrilic characters and jurabib didn't
make any problem.

This is actually quite simple: Just ente
/PrerendeUnicode{unicodecharactersyouneed} in your preamble and the
message should disappear. I don't know if this already solves your
problem.
There' also a jurabib group on groups.yahoo.com where you might get help
