in JRuby 1.6.7 in 1.9 mode, YAML.encoding('é').dump.encoding => ASCII-8BIT which is not expected, and differs from UTF-8 from MRI.

This is really bad in Rails apps, because a YAML serialized atribute may be mixed with a normal UTF-8 attribute (with a special character) and results in a Incompatible Encoding Exception.
