While the patch itself is fine, I'm not sure it's actually fixing anything. 
Michael, can you confirm that it does fix the problem?

The reason being that we set the "codec for C strings" early in the 
initialisation, so

	QString(text) == QString::fromUtf8(text)

[though with a different codec implementation and a small performance penalty. 
(I need to go fix the different codec problem for Qt 5, now that I've improved 
the performance of our UTF-8 codec 2.1x to 3.6x times on average data over 
ICU[1])]
