We have a user on the solr-user mailing list that has been bitten by enforced UTF-8 encoding by SOLR-4265. Their client sends queries in ISO-8859-1 so they need Tomcat to handle that charset, and presumably they also index in ISO-8859-1.
Everything's fine in Solr 3.5, but Solr 4.3 is overriding the Tomcat configuration and interpreting the incoming data as UTF-8. This is all intentional, but the user needs the old behavior. I think we need to offer a solrconfig option to configure the character set rather than hard-coding it to UTF-8. The example config should be commented, and when the config is not present, Solr should default to UTF-8. If I open an issue, is that something that is likely to happen? I don't know if I'd be able to tackle that project without some extensive research.
