Yes, my bad.

Nothing to see here. In the end, it was a problem I created myself. Doh.

Yes, indeed. 

However, if new_from_xml can manage the encoding of the xml by itself to
produce valid UTF-8, and we always use UTF-8 in Koha, this dropdown list
"Encoding (z3950 can send records in various encodings. Choose one):" is
completely useless when editing an SRU server, right?
If it is the case, shouldn't we disable it or hide it?
