UTF-8 patch not quite there

I just upgraded to the 1.5 GR patch and hoped it would solve the character problem I have - the result: albums created with GR appear with correct names in GR, but when I look at the site gallery, I get &...; coded characters instead of the corresponding UTF-8 codes!

Correspondingly, the correctly named and UTF-8 encoded albums on the web site gallery are ok but come mangled in GR.

It looks as if the patch was done the wrong way around, perhaps?
