That's a step in the right direction, but doesn't completely address 
what I'm asking, unless by 'all tables' you meant 'all tables and also 
all internal variables and also all REST and Commandline interfaces.'  
Fixing my particular issue is straightforward, but the fact that I'm 
seeing the bug in the first place suggests that there's no standard 
encoding currently enforced.  Which seems bad.
