Which backend are you using to save the data? Try explicitly setting engine to either netcdf4, h5netcdf or scipy. I think h5netcdf may be your best bet but it's probably worth trying all of them. Sadly unicode strings in Python 3 / NumPy is still quite painful.

Also, how did all the Coordinates somehow get moved into Data variables ?

This looks like a bug of some sort -- not sure how that happened!
