Did you tested this with 1.2.2?  I added code to make sure the
translations are passed as utf-8 to the agent:

  /* The Assuan agent protol requires us to trasnmit utf-8 strings */
  orig_codeset = bind_textdomain_codeset (PACKAGE, NULL);
#ifdef HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET
  if (!orig_codeset)
    orig_codeset = nl_langinfo (CODESET);
#endif
  if (orig_codeset)
    { /* We only switch when we are able to restore the codeset later. */
      orig_codeset = m_strdup (orig_codeset);
      if (!bind_textdomain_codeset (PACKAGE, "utf-8"))
        orig_codeset = NULL; 
    }
