The html file quite clearly includes the following at the beginning: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text-html; charset=utf-8"> However, I have had the explanation that the conversion below is the result of LibO taking the input as ISO-8859-1 and converting it to UTF-8. If someone in here can confirm this, I will write this up as a bug. As mentioned below in the original mail, this does not occur on Windows, nor on the Mac.
