[vorbis] Special Characters in artist field

Okay the guys at xmms quickly dismissed this as a duplicate of a 
previous (fixed) bug.  With the info the bug report gave I still can't 
get it to work (see link).

If I do a
ogginfo cocoon.ogg | iconv -t ISO-8859-1 -f UTF-8

it correctly yields:
...
artist=Björk
...

So doesn't that mean the oggenc is encoding correctly in UTF-8?  I'm 
being a little slow on this one, please forgive me . . .
