Shouldn't the Content-Language header be used to select the appropriate glyphset? (A longer quotation of course being in a separate part with it's own MIME headers) I'm not sure whether the Plane-14 language-tagging characters are a help or a hindrance here. They ought not to be used when there's an external means of indicating language (MIME headers), but they would help in the generic code-conversion that Emacs does all day.
