Seeing this on Linux 2001-10-18-08 trunk. This looks like a JavaScript problem
rather than an HTML forms problem. The relevant code is (reduced):

<script language="javascript">
document.write("<form name=VP_encoding><input name=t type=hidden
value='&#1040;&#192;&#260;&#270;&#901;&#287;&#32;&#32;&#45;&#20491;&#32;'></input></form>");

  function VP_getEncoding() {
    var t = document.forms.VP_encoding.t.value.split("-");
    if (t[0] == "Ð?ÀĄĎ΅ğ  ") return "<option selected value=UTF8>Utf-8";
    else if (t[1] == "­Ó ") return "<option selected value=Big5> Chinese (Big5)"
    return "<option selected value=>Please Select";
  }
</script> 

------------------------------------

<select NAME="encode">
<script language="javascript">document.write(VP_getEncoding());</script>
<option value=UTF8> UTF8
    <option value=ISO8859_1> Western (American/European) (ISO8859_1)
    <option value=Big5> Chinese (Big5)
</select>
