That doesn't look like it works for me, e.g.:

C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\boa\Boa.pyw -O .boa-constructor-mine -U 
iso8859-1

import wx
 >>> wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding()
'utf-8'

'utf-8' is what is defined in my sitecustomize.py and if I remove it and 
the .pyc and .pyo I get:

import wx
 >>> wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding()
'cp1252'
