I checked readLLXMLfile() function, it converts not to iso-8859-1 but to
the character set of BE/FE (depending on where it was called). This is
true if typo3 knows about this character set. However if character set
is not known to typo3, it will convert to iso-8859-1. Seems like this is
what happens in your case.
