You are right, when moving inside digikam, the database entries are just copied. When the move is done outside digikam, digikam will find new images and re-read the exif comments. So it is a DMetaData/libexiv2 problem, but possibly the specifications are the actual problem (I think IPTC only knows latin encoding).
Testing this here, I set some hebrew and arab text from the internet as comment, and it works well inside the db, but I cannot read it from Konqueror or the metadata tabs (no utf8 locale?).

Anyway, in setImageComment, all comments are converted to latin1. I do not know enough about libexiv2 and the specs to go further into this.
