Response validation fails with MyOpenId

When using myopenid.com as provider, the response validation performed by 
LightOpenID will fail under certain conditions.

It seems to fail when I request the "namePerson" attribute and the value sent 
by the server contains a non-ASCII character (such as "Á"). However, it only 
happens for certain attribute combinations, e.g.:

$openid->optional = array(
    'contact/email',
    'namePerson/friendly',
    'namePerson',
    'person/gender',
    'contact/country/home',
    'pref/language',
    'pref/timezone',
    'media/image/default',
    'media/image/aspect11',
    'media/image/aspect43',
    'media/image/aspect34',
    'media/image/favicon',
);

My consumer site is using UTF-8 all around and so does MyOpenID.

Testing with "Á" (a 2-byte UTF-8 string), I've checked that at 
LightOpenID::validate(), right before $this->request(...), the 
$params['openid.sreg.fullname'] variable contains 4 bytes instead of 2. So it's 
normal that validation fails.

I'm not sure about how to check at which point the full name gets mangled. In 
the final POST request, $_POST['openid_sreg_fullname'] is already corrupted: 
string(4) "Ã"

Other providers like Yahoo don't show such problem.
