But I don't quite understand why courier doesn't do the RFC-2047-encoding
of the from-header.

Because it's not its job.

                    In this way each and every MUA of every user (with
non-ascii-characters in their full names) has to be configured to send the
encoded header.

No, only MUAs that are broken. MUAs are responsible for properly encoding all parts of an E-mail message to conform to RFC 2822.

                 By default, they seem to send "Full Name <address>" in
their default config without further encoding.

Report it as a bug, and ask it to be fixed.

Wouldn't the mta be a better place to do the encoding?

No. An MTA receives a message. The message is expected to be a well-formed E-mail message.
