Fantastic! For this particular problem - I guess you don't strictly need to modify more than just job and maybe task tables. I suspect at some point there will be a non-latin-1 job parameter or history name or username, etc... that will result in a similar problem though - so if you could just make it all UTF-8 that would probably be ideal.
