I have set my SM 1.1.18 (Mac) preferences to only display fonts in
character encoding Unicode (UTF-8).
Instead, it still insists on frequently moving over to Western
(ISO-8859-1), which doesn’t handle punctuation correctly.

Does anyone know why the user settings are ignored?

I‘ve tried restarting, rebooting, etc. Doesn’t seem to help.

SeaMonkey doesn't display fonts in a character encoding. It decodes a text determined to use certain encoding, then finds appropriate fonts to display the characters.

What preference you've actually set (where's it located)?

If a web page or mail/news message explicitly states the encoding of its body then SeaMonkey will always use that, initially, and even if you override it for a preview, next time it is opened it will revert to the page/message specified one. It is quite possible the page/message specified encoding is given wrong.

If no encoding info is supplied, SeaMonkey will try to guess the encoding depending on the View -> Character Encoding -> Auto-Detect selection and the Edit -> Preferences: Mail & Newsgroups / Character Encoding for mail/news messages (and Server Settings: Default Character Encoding for specific accounts).
