Don't ask me what to actually *do* about it, though :-)
I just dealt with this recently. I will pass on what Valoric (Sigil guy) told me to do to fix the problem.

Extract the epub file with a ZIP unarchiver, open each XHTML file and delete the meta tag. Then zip everything back up and open it in Sigil, then resave.

Which means open each XHTML file with notepad and remove the line that mentions charset windows-1252 or whatever. Hope this helps.
