Good point.  I tried that now (with "| cat > /tmp/" to get a pipe in
there), and the contents that were written to file were correct utf-8.

Mysterious.  Could the problem be in pbcopy -- that's assuming something
about the coding system when run from inside Emacs somehow?  That
doesn't sound very likely, but...

I've added Alan to the CCs; perhaps he has some insights here.
