wms_encoding should go into MAP.WEB.METADATA section as it sets the
encoding for all responses of the web map service and doesn't deal
with individual layers.
  It should be noted that MapServer doesn't really encode WMS
responses. It actually writes data out as it comes in from
map file and data sources. So those should be consistent.

You should check that HTTP headers match the encoding of your
template and data. QGIS should then be able to read it correctly.
If this is still not the case you should create an issue on qgis.org.
