I believe that the issue is with Junio's mail client. Indeed, the context encoding for the mail *body* was specified as 8859-1, but that should have none effect on fields in the mail header, because any field is the header should be either printable ASCII or encoded to contain only ASCII characters as specified in RFC 1522:

encoded-word = "=?" charset "?" encoding "?" encoded-text "?="

Here is the From field from the mail:

From:	=?utf-8?q?Bj=C3=B6rn=20Steinbrink?= <B.Steinbrink@gmx.de>

So, as far as I can tell, it is encoded properly using utf-8.
