However I vaguely remember comments about security issues involved with
permitting the upload of document formats such as this.

I do not see how lack of charset specification is a bug. Plaintext has the same
issue. As do other formats. And where a format does support internal charset
specification I usually would not think too highly of how it's done. One
typically simply expects everything to be UTF-8 encoded.
