So GenericSetup has to use ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.default_encoding as 
well. Right?

If CMF is messing around with other encodings (like using the site's 
default_charset for the portal titel) it has to override that.

If using utf-8 was the wrong approach your test_utils patch has to be 
modified as well.
