Comment (by nbachiyski):

 Yeap, AJAX is the problem. It seems that different encodings just couldn't
 easily live in that cruel AJAX world ;)

 I am from Bulgaria (another windows-1251 country) and recently also had
 the same problem with an application of mine. The solution was to decode
 the incoming data - if it was valid UTF-8 to cp1251. However I do not
 think in WordPress there is place for such dirty hacks :-)

 Maybe migration to UTF-8 will be the best choice you can go for.
