this is broken because the weird style-tag injection in the plugins onStartShowHTML-method, forcing text/html as content-type, not the detected one.

moving the styletag code from onStartShowHTML into onEndRegistrationFormData and removing the onStartShowHTML code completely fixes the bug.

like this:

{{{
function onEndRegistrationFormData($action)
{
$action->elementStart('li');
$action->raw('#recaptcha_area{float:left;}'); // fix
$action->raw('Captcha');
if($this->checkssl() === true){
$action->raw(recaptcha_get_html($this->public_key), null, true);
} else {
$action->raw(recaptcha_get_html($this->public_key));
}
$action->elementEnd('li');
return true;
}
}}}

- or, where should i submit the patch?

The above patch will break safari and chrome as they are strict about xhtml strict. This is a problem with recaptcha not supporting xhtml. It is a known issue and until the library is fixed it will break UTF8.
