Yes, please turn it off for the virtual host.

HTML-single is still broken.  Besides you would have to do this every
time a new translation gets added.  Sounds like a lot of manual work.

I plan to switch the documentation to UTF-8 soon, you'd have to update
this again at this point.

I'm convinced that turning off the charset override is the right
solution, at least for the MPlayer virtual host.
