I can confirm this bug as iso-8859-2 user even don't seeing image in question.
I have tons of my own examples :)

In some part bug is invalid: as advertised in numerous places in metadata
plugins IPTC supports only us-ascii subset of characters. And eacute isn't in
this subset.

But: Metadata Working Group in latest version of guidelines 
http://www.metadataworkinggroup.org/pdf/mwg_guidance.pdf

pages 27-28

writes:
1. Program should honor encoding set in 1:90 field
2. If 1:90 is not set assume: utf-8 or local encoding (in this order)
3. When changing string it should be recoded to utf-8 and field 1:90 should be
updated.
4. Newly created strings in IPTC-IIM should be in utf-8

Ad 4: if I understand text properly IPTC-IIM is considered deprecated and if
possible new content for IPTC-IIM fields shouldn't be created at all - use XMP
instead.
