It's both.  In SMTPUTF8 the headers can include UTF-8 text everywhere, not just
the addresses.  But I agree that in this case it would be better for something
to MIME encode the From comment so it doesn't need SMTPUTF8.

I don't feel strongly about where that should happen but I don't think it
is all that common to have non-ASCII text in the passwd file so putting
the MIME encoded version there is likely the easiest path.

R's,

PS: GECOS was definitely ASCII only since it predated Unicode by several 
decades.
