In general, yes.  Charset info can come from the HTTP cache, from user 
bookmarks, etc, etc.

In this case, though, it's totally my fault: I just forgot that I had 
the HTML5 parser turned on locally.  Turning that off, I do get UTF-8, 
because of 
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/603759afc77a/parser/htmlparser/src/nsParser.cpp#l2553 
and following.  That code is just bogus, in my somewhat biased 
opinion.... ;)
