Actually, in response to my own previous question---I hadn't properly isolated the bug.
Here's what's really going on. An external data source, not under my control, is giving me strings that are actually "double-encoded UTF-8" via an HTTP XML API. I can't do anything about this data, this is the way it comes. (Yes, the provider of this data is written in Perl. Grr.) Is there any easy way I can somehow return this double-encoded UTF-8 to real legitimate UTF-8 in Ruby? Any advice?
