Hi,
my ISO8859-1 decoding theory seems to be correct. If I tag the file
with ISO8859-1 characters, Rhythmbox shows the correct artist.
$ id3v2 -a `echo "täst" | iconv -f utf8 -t iso8859-1` foo-iso.mp3
$ id3v2 -l foo.mp3 
id3v1 tag info for foo.mp3:
Title  :                                 Artist: täst
Here is the corresponding rhythmdb.xml entry:
  <entry type="song">
    <title>foo-iso.mp3</title>
    <genre>Unknown</genre>
    <artist>täst</artist>
    <album>Unknown</album>
    <duration>1</duration>
    <file-size>8320</file-size>
    <location>file:///home/storage/music/foo-iso.mp3</location>
    <mountpoint>file:///home/storage</mountpoint>
    <mtime>1175107678</mtime>
    <first-seen>1175107721</first-seen>
    <last-seen>1175107722</last-seen>
    <bitrate>32</bitrate>
    <date>0</date>
    <mimetype>application/x-id3</mimetype>
    <mb-trackid></mb-trackid>
  </entry>
