I just tested it and it worked correctly. I think your problem is  
that you've not compiled iconv support for Dovecot, or alternatively  
your iconv doesn't support the character set in the strings for some  
reason.

Handling unknown charsets could be handled more nicely (eg. just  
strip all non-ascii), but IMAP-i18n draft says this about it:

     Strings encoded using unknown character encodings should never  
match
     when using the SEARCH command, and should sort together with  
invalid
     input for the SORT and THREAD commands.
