In my case that's not true!! See the following screenshot taken from mozilla
retrieving your example pages:

http://typo3.robertlemke.de/list/charset-test-mozilla-ignores-meta-charset-definition.png

Mozilla DOES recognize your meta tag and states "Content-Type: text/html;
charset=us-ascii".
However, it uses ISO-8859-15 for encoding as you can see a few lines above.
That's weird.

I will do some more investigation on that issue, if anyone finds some
ressources, please post them!
