Apparently, a fix for the problem I was talking about was attempted in
zope.publisher, but not propogated to Zope 2 as per Tres comment from
2008-06-16 from this (duplicate?) bug report.  There's also some working
patches for Zope 2 here:

I have no clue about the problem with character encodings used to serve
pages, nor am I sure if it's related at all.
