The <meta charset="utf-8"> thing has always (well, since it first started happening a couple years back) been a bit of a minor annoyance and complete mystery.

For one-offs the epub export is a more efficient workflow.
I have to check if I can retrace why that tag was inserted, but if I recall correctly it was there to ensure correct handling of the file as UTF-8. In the new library that line is no longer there I think, but that library will not be used in the 1.x versions due to various issues. I really wish I could give a date for the 2.x version, but I can't.
