I can believe that.
Can you send a short example, along with the .out file that results.

My guess is that hyperref's  \HyPsd@@ConvertToUnicode  macro is not
sophisticated enough to know how to convert UTF8 multi-byte characters
into the double-octal notation that it uses for Unicode code-points.

If those characters were active (i.e. essentially macros) then
you would need to supply alternative expansions to get into that
form when a Bookmark is being processed.
I do this for mathematical symbols with pdfTeX .

However this method is not available for non-active UTF8 characters.

A different thread today, about  xeruby.sty  addresses the same
problem, doesn't it ?
