Comment(by hakre):

 iptcparse() is used to gather iptc data. it is assumed that the iptc data
 is ISO-8859-1 encoded and is converted to utf8 by utf8_encode() then.

 this is not a swfupload issue. this is a encoding issue based on the
 handling within wordpress.

 so the question is: how is the iptc encoding done? is it marked? at least
 a test for having utf8 data in there seems reasonable to me. if it is
 already valid utf8 then good to go. if not, the latin-1 can be assumed and
 encoded into utf8 (as it is done now).
