Actually I'm not sure what is your problem.
Which applications do you try?

It seems recently some of modules, GTK, Bonobo and GNOME session, uses goption. When the application uses --help options, it includes the output of both goption and popt.
goption has the current encoding but popt is UTF-8 then you may encounter the problem.
Could you apply POPT_fprintf() for popt options only?

Thanks,
