Like Ricardo said, this is indeed a bug in guile-email, the same bug you
reported earlier, in fact. I haven't fixed it yet, but I'm working on
it. The fix is a little more involved than I expected. Currently,
guile-email takes the entire email as a string, parses it and returns
the results. This constrains all characters in the email to have the
same encoding (specifically the charset in email terminology). But, an
email can have characters of different encodings. Therefore it must be
treated as a string of bytes not a string of characters.

Parsing the email is done by guile-email. I only have a little
documentation at this point (you can find it at
https://guile-email.systemreboot.net/manual). So, you'll mostly have to
read the source code. There is a mailing list at
address@hidden. Feel free to post any guile-email bugs or
questions to that list.
