Well, but according to this argument using anything else than iso-8859-1 is just wrong. Strange. :-)

I think that it is very reasonable to expect that a program honors the locale settings or uses only ASCII characters.
(In this matter, I share your feelings, because I also have non-ASCII characters in my name, but if I decide to print my name in its full glory, I respect the locales and don't assume that all the world uses iso-8859-2 as I do.)
