We had similar problems, and our best solution was to remove
the "AddDefaultCharset" config option altogether.  This allows individual
pages to specify their own encoding using meta tags:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
and browsers to properly auto detect charsets on pages that fail to
explicity set them.
