I can reproduce this behaviour using the following instructions:
1. Add a new incoming mail filter.
2. Set it to forward messages to another account
3. Send yourself a mail that triggers this filter. Add non-ascii characters
(eg. chinese, cyrillic, ...) and let KMail choose the encoding automatically.
4. Wait for the message to be sent and forwarded using the filter.

Result: The original message displays correctly. The forwarded message is
displayed encoded. It actually looks as if the encoded mime-part was inlined
without adding appropriate mime-headers (original message encoded using base64,
forwarded mail is sent as 7bit).
