I love it when I answer my own questions 5 minutes later. I had been
sweating over this all night into this morning. Now I finally figured it
out: create a super-literal (to use Sean Burke's terminology):
use strict;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
use utf8;
my $string = "m\x{c3}\x{b8}\x{c3}\x{b8}se";
my $outfile = 'treebuild3.html';
open O, ">$outfile" or die $!;
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content(<<"EOHTML");
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
EOHTML
my $literal = HTML::Element->new('~literal', text => $string); # THE WINNING
LINE!
my $body = $tree->look_down('_tag' => 'body');
$body->push_content($literal);
