OK, I think I've got something that I'm happy with.
There were a couple problems with how my SOAP::Lite handler was
processing UTF8.
First, SOAP::Lite encodes extended 8-bit strings as base 64. What a
pain. I found this workaround <http://london.pm.org/pipermail/
london.pm/Week-of-Mon-20061023/005171.html>.
Second, I found this <http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=589132> which
suggested running the string through utf8::decode and this seemed to
solve my problems.
So my solution ends up looking something like this:
# make sure Perl marks this as utf8
utf8::decode($s);
# encode string ourselves to prevent SOAP::LIte from
encoding it as base64
push @results, SOAP::Data->type( string => $s );
It works for me.

But I cannot figure out WHERE this conversion is being done.
I've picked through SOAP::Lite enough to know that unicode
conversions are probably more than it knows how to handle.
However, SOAP::Data::encode_data uses a regex to munge data.
Perhaps there's a conversion happening in the regex engine that
breaks the UTF8.
