One could argue that an SSH server running on such a system should look at the configured locale and configure the PTY appropriately, and that's probably even a good idea. However, a user using 'stty' to change terminal modes at the remote end of an ssh connection has an expectation that the change will propagate to the local terminal as much as possible, and the point of defining a bit for IUTF8 is to help make that possible.Did you switch local/remote here?
Nope. If I type 'stty iutf8', stty does an ioctl on the pty slave on the remote machine (the ssh server). My expectation is that sshd will notice the change, propagate it down the wire, and my ssh client will make the same ioctl on my terminal (assuming, of course, that both terminals support the bit).
