The multibyteness of the string should be exactly that indication.

Agree, but I don't think soap-client.el can do much more.  It's due to
a problem on the server side.

Just a note: "base64" here might be a convenient word to use, but it
focuses on the wrong part of the issue.  soap-client already does the
base64 decoding.
The issue is that the server sends "base64Binary" where the important
word is "Binary".
