Apparently the xmlrpc.inc script sets ISO-8859-1.
See lines 140-144 of cookbook/xmlrpc/xmlrpc.inc, which say:

        // The charset encoding used in sent messages and expected for received responses
        $xmlrpc_defencoding='UTF-8';
        // The encoding used by PHP.
        // String values received will be converted to this.
        $xmlrpc_internalencoding='ISO-8859-1';

You might try changing that last variable to 'UTF-8' and see if
that solves things.
