Knode 0.7.7 from KDE 3.2.3 seems to recognize the charset, even when not given in caps.

But there is a related problem: The menu 'view -> charset' seems to override the charset for *all* articles, not only for those without a charset specification (as one could expect). 

In a utf-8 environment, to properly read all those articles without charset specification, I tried to choose latin1 from this menu, but then I have garbage for all umlauts in the utf-8 articles, *although* they are correctly marked as being utf-8. So there is no way of reading all articles without umlaut garbage.

[In a latin1 environment this problem does not arise, because one can leave the charset setting set to 'automatic', i.e. use the charset from the article, or the system default (latin1 in this case), if the article doesn't specify one.]

IMHO there are two solutions: Change the meaning of the 'view->charset' menu to not override a spec in the article, or add a means of specifying a charset as a fallback for articles without a spec (see Bug 44367).
