I'll run some tests on it tomorrow, but I think that Zend_Filter_Input pulls
from the post variables in the request object, which are processed before
the $_POST variable that you set above would be set.
Unicode issues are *tricky* to get pinned down. You also need to have the
right charset being passed in the headers from the server, the right
override in your browser, etc. so on so forth. We've had problems with a
bunch of our servers when they were going through a misconfigured squid
cache that stripped the UTF-8 headers off ... but only when you hit it with
a request for the site in the Turkish charset. All kinds of things could
cause the behaviour you're seeing. And knowing how much translation and
internationalization that is happening, I think we'd have seen this fairly
simple case show up before now.
