Ours is roughly the same; we created a keyword|identifer index and
labeled that eg.identifier, so our 7 / 8 values point to that instead.
But that only affects search accuracy, not encoding.

Our <marc> element also includes an inputcharset="utf-8" attribute;
perhaps that's a significant difference?

Also, what version of yaz and Simple2ZOOM are you running?

$ yaz-config --version
3.0.47

perl -MNet::Z3950::Simple2ZOOM -e 'print
$Net::Z3950::Simple2ZOOM::VERSION . "\n"'
1.04
