The rabbitmq-stomp plugin can deal with arbitrary binary payloads as
required by the STOMP specification. rabbitmq-web-stomp is  thin layer
that passes arbitrary binary data back & forth without interpreting it,
so it should have no problem dealing with invalid UTF8.

I'm not sure whether base64-encoding is the best solution. It depends on
how much control you have over the browser and which SockJS transport is
selected.
