This may be simple case of misunderstanding (on my part).

I'm assuming that we are talking about the xml preamble attribute 
'encoding'. e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Since this is SOAP over JMS, the web services binding layer would use 
the JMS apis to send/receive the SOAP infoset/xml. The SOAP infoset/xml 
is transported over JMS as a text message. The web services layer either 
uses the SOAP infoset (which is abstract and encoding attribute is not 
present) or deals with the serialized XML. The encoding attribute comes 
into play only when dealing with serialized XML. If serialized xml is 
used (anywhere), one can't ignore the encoding attribute. No?
