Well, but actually both of those are incorrect.  :-)  The original report is actually incorrect -- the plugin doesn't currently assume utf-8 as most programs write either ISO-8859-1 or the local encoding.  This gets messy because the current locale may not be the locale at the time or machine that the file was tagged.  (And since, well, a lot of mp3 files are downloaded this just complicates things.)
