Yes, I'm sure. iTunes 4.9 on Windows can read UTF-16 and can't read UTF-8 (like 
many other players). I just tried iTunes 5 and it can read both UTF-8 and UTF-16

I'm sure that latest WMP can't read 2.4 tags.

Well, I wrote it for personal usage and it's possible to write non-valid 2.3 
tags (for example by using UTF-8 string) with it. So no, i don't have full 
implementation. Adding this kind of 2.3 support to TagLib was quite easy as it 
doesn't use most of 2.4 specific features - no header flags, no extended header, 
no footer, ...
