I found that it also works with utf8 when you add

\lstset{extendedchars=false}

I've not found the string "utf" in the documentation of listings-1.3,
but in the PDF for 1.4 on CTAN.  Even that one doesn't talk about
general utf encoding, only about CJK and similar things.

I'll ask the upstream author.
