what do you mean by "inserted into the form"? That the response contains a
single byte where you properties contain character whose unicode value is
greater than 127 ? how have you checked this? if so, thats a bug.

This is a directive to tell zope when you submit the form that your browser
will have encoded the form response using utf-8. Browsers stupidly dont put
this information anywhere more suitable.
What browser are you using? is it correctly using utf8 for this page? (for
example, Mozilla has a View/Encoding menu that can override server-supplied
encoding information)

Those are supposed to be there. The first inserts the text/html;charset=utf-8
header into the management page. The second ensures that the dtml which
computes this page content returns a unicode object.
If the dtml returns a unicode object, then ZPublisher looks at the charset
header to determine how to encode it.

could be.
please put ib/python/OFS/dtml/properties.dtml back the way is was originally,
then send me
1. which browser you are using
2. a export file containing one object that demonstrates the problem.
3. a copy of the page obtained using wget or similar. (please dont use your
browsers 'save' feature because that sometimes performs transcoding)
