Pete, I've applied your scipts, with the slight (manual) tweak that the "coding:" line is added only to pages with UTF-8 in the source. I've also checked your scripts into the scripts/ directory in the man-pages Git repo. Maybe they'll come in useful someday or for someone else. Thanks for doing the legwork on this issue.
