Hi Neil, I might be wrong, but I thought there was an accept-charset attribute on FORM elements for that purpose.
As an alternative, did you try changing the encoding in the HTTP app server in MarkLogic Server? It is default set to UTF-8, but you should be able to change it to other values. Haven't tested, but that could make the app server interpret the request params differently..
