I'm still not sure my decision to require a UTF-8 BOM at the start to

Would be nice if it doesn’t need to be there to make it easier to
create them in external editors.
Indeed. I think this is actually something we can change without causing
any problems:
If a script only stack file contains a BOM at the start then engine only
processes it as UTF-8.
If a script only stack file does not contain a BOM, then it tries to
decode as UTF-8 if this fails it decodes as native platform encoding.
This should work because it is incredibly unlikely that a native
platform encoded textfile will appear as well-formed UTF-8.
