What did earlier kernels do? 2.4.x?
I'd be inclined to think that this is more of a terminfo issue. If you want your terminal to reset into UTF-8, use a terminfo entry with the appropriate command string instead of the current one - this would be the 'rs1' capability:
rs1=\Ec\E]R
That's reset console to default, reset palette.

There's no standard way to represent this in userspace. But yeah.
