Anyone know of a really solid IPTC Library with Ruby bindings? Ideally
it would also handle encoding to extended characters to UTF-8 properly.

Wow, 2nd time in a week this has come up. Check out the previous
thread[1].
I have experimented a bit with Exiv2[2]. My little tests have been
fine, but I have no clue if it handles UTF-8 properly.
ruby-exiv2[3] is a binding to this library and requires exiv2 be already
installed.
enjoy,

If the Exiftool commandline-application[1] fill your needs (they
support UTF-8) you can use MiniExiftool[2-4].
