Actually console-setup can easily test whether the encoding of the locale is UTF-8. Then it can load a font only in case the encoding is not UTF-8. I will make this change in the next version, this is going fix the bug. For now you can set the variables FONTFACE and FONTSIZE in /etc/default/console-setup to empty strings. This should fix the problem.

I have made no tests but from what I've read in order to turn on the UTF-8 mode on the console one has to compile the kernel with options TEKEN_XTERM and TEKEN_UTF8. Doesn't this mean there are different kernels for UTF-8 and for 8-bit encodings? Or maybe there some some commands (ioctl?) or maybe terminal control sequences one can use to turn on or off the UTF-8 mode on the console?
