Comment(by mcayland):

 Right, so we don't use PostgreSQL to do the encoding conversion but use
 iconv instead. Hence we force everything to UTF-8 encoding in the output
 and indicate this to PostgreSQL.

 Now I can't say that I have any shapefiles lying around without 7-bit
 ASCII names, so it wouldn't surprise me if there are errors in this area.
 I'll try and take a look at this, however I'm fairly short on time this
 week.
