My answer will probably be quite useless, but i tried the very same
things on a system with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, and here is what I get:

1) zenity --list --checklist --column "Choose" --column "Tracks" TRUE \
"1-Lights_of_Euphoria-Was_w�_wenn?"

-> Works perfectly: no warning message, and �ppears as �2) echo "01-Lights_of_Euphoria-Was_w�_wenn?" | zenity --text-info \
--title="Audio rip" --width=800 --height=600

-> I get no warning message either, but I get the following string:
01-Lights_of_Euphoria-Was_wäre_wenn?
