Right, that's covered in the Tomcat FAQ at
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding#Q3
(with the larger set of steps, similar to the stackoverflow URL I sent
before, being covered here:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding#Q8 )

Though Robert described that this did not in fact fix the problem for
him (very end of section "Reproducing the problem"):
http://fuero.github.io/shibboleth-tomcat-charset-oddities/

The code Robert kindly posted now at
https://github.com/fuero/tomcat-encoding-filter doesn't detail what
needed to be changed from the Tomcat 7 version, though:

"SetCharacterEncodingFilter was taken and modified from the Tomcat
7.0.x tree."

Someone who cared could diff them herself, though. ;)
