First I should note that the PmWiki core doesn't do any sort
of conversions like this -- it all takes place in the browser.
All PmWiki ever sees is the Χ form (and it dutifully
records it that way, assuming that the author intended it to
be that way.)
Still, we could probably come up with a $ROSPattern that would
automatically convert &#nnn; into their utf-8 counterpart --
would that work?
I've created a page on pmwiki.org where we can analyze this
a bit further -- could you add some text showing the problems
you're encountering there?
