Well, should have looked up in the call stack.
ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.processInputs, lines 527sq (Zope trunk):

527: item = unicode(item,character_encoding)
528: if hasattr(converter,'convert_unicode'):
529:     item = converter.convert_unicode(item)
530: else:
531:     item = converter(item.encode(default_encoding))

converter is field2string, default_encoding is 
ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.default_encoding = 'iso-8859-15' (not to mistake 
for ZPublisher.Converters.default_encoding = 'iso-8859-15').

These default_encoding's are set by 
Zope2.Startup.datatypes.default_zpublisher_encoding (i.e. zope.conf's 
default-zpublisher-encoding directive).

Of course, just setting default-zpublisher-encoding to utf-8 results in 
a garbled ZMI ...
