If you serve differently encoded pages then you should set Vary: Accept-Charset. But then without normalization you'd get an explosion of different page variations. Without the Vary, it means that a visitor can poison the cache by supplying (only) a weird charset in Accept-Encoding. The page would then be served in this encoding, cached downstream, and if other visitor's browsers don't support that charset then they have a problem.
