What makes you think it is UTF-8?  Have you looked at the file in less?
In vim (my statusline shows "help/help_mp-it.h" [converted])?  Have you
checked with the 'file' command?

It is not UTF-8:

silver:/var/tmp/mplayer_vanilla $ file file help/help_mp-it.h
help/help_mp-it.h: Non-ISO extended-ASCII C++ program text

This sentence confuses me.  What is your locale now?  What is the value
of the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables, what do you have in
/etc/default/locale?
