Here's what I just put in the bug:

Woops.  That's not UTF-8.  I didn't realize that we were talking about 
Nautilus. I thought we were talking about Mozilla.

The string that's passed back to Nautilus through 
gtk_moz_embed_get_title()isn't UTF-8.  In fact, it's probably converted 
to a C-string by chopping off thehigh bits.  You need to use 
gtk_moz_embed_get_title_unichar() instead.  Thiswill hand you back 
Mozilla's internal UTF-16-like encoded string.  You can use one of the 
conversion functions to get a UTF-8 encoded string from that and then
you can convert it to the locale-specific encoding.

You can also throw the UTF-8 encoded string up using the new-style _NET* 
Xproperties, assuming the wm supports it.
