The 8bit-clean BibTeX is around for years. 

TeXLive BibTeX is supposed to handle UTF-8:

        TeXLive started supporting Unicode-encoded BibTeX before the
        2007 release.

I just tried this and the result is not encouraging:

Unhandled exception in Import::BibTeX: An error occurred while parsing BibTeX:

Besides practically all my BibTeX files are in Latin-2, why should I
recode them into a legacy notation?

I've just recoded a Latin-2 file into UTF-8 in hope it will work :-)
