You're perfectly right -- that's what I consider to be the bug.

I think that inputenc should just do the right thing whatever the
implementation.  The user should not need to know whether he's running
TeX, pdfTeX, Omega or XeTeX, he should be able to say

  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

and the right thing for the current implementation of TeX should
magically happen.
