I added this to my XHTML customization layer to solve the problem: 

<!-- Additional meta tag info for IE (not needed when using xsltproc) -->
<xsl:template name="user.head.content">
  <xsl:if test="contains(system-property('xsl:vendor'), 'SAXON') or 
                   contains(system-property('xsl:vendor'), 'Apache')">
     <meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" http-equiv="Content-Type"
                            content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
