If Gecko does that for Workers, that would be a bug. Workers are UTF-8

If you are saying that
Content-Type: application/javascript;charset=iso-8859-1
... 0xC3 0xB6 ...
should have U+00C3 U+00B6 when used via<script> and an U+00F6 when used
via `new Worker` then I will stand ready to roll over the floor
laughing
when Firefox and Chrome are changed so they conform to this bizarre
idea
instead of doing the right thing and treating the two cases the same.

The only alternative would be to *reject* the script.

But it seems that this is what
<http://dev.w3.org/html5/workers/#importing-scripts-and-libraries> says.
Please consider this a bug report.
UTF-8-only for workers is deliberate. I don't see any reason to reject
scripts that have other charset. Rejecting the script would mean that some
authors can't use workers at all because their server uses charset and
they can't change it.
