I agree -- it would be better to make WordPress as impervious to the
defaults in PHP and Apache as possible.  For example, I think having a
central file for all the headers would be a good direction to go.

In this particular case, one could probably use the ini_set() function
inside WordPress instead of the php_value directive in .htaccess (to
avoid the dependency on "Allow Override").

For non-PHP files there is also the Apache directive AddDefaultCharset
to consider, which might prove more problematic to address.
