I think a note in the docs would be sufficient. It's nice that you can use independent encodings for syntax/output

Well, I solved the problem for you, but it's still terrifically confusing and in the long run we need some better approach, so I'll try to keep thinking about it.

Awesome, thanks.

The encoding of a syntax file is independent of the encoding of the
active file.  --syntax-encoding controls the former.  "SET LOCALE"
controls the latter.  If you add "SET LOCALE='utf-8'" to the top of your
syntax file, it ought to work as expected.  (Both encodings default to
the system locale, so switching to a UTF-8 locale should also work.)
