It isn't, at least in its current implementation. Let's take our example
(debbugs-get-status 22285). The debbugs server returns (beside other
data)

<severity xsi:type="xsd:string">normal</severity>
<originator 
xsi:type="xsd:base64Binary">Q2zDqW1lbnQgUGl0LS1DbGF1ZGVsIDxjbGVtZW50LnBpdGNsYXVkZWxAbGl2ZS5jb20+</originator>

Testing multibyteness returns

(multibyte-string-p (cdr (assq 'severity (car (debbugs-get-status 22285)))))
t
(multibyte-string-p (cdr (assq 'originator (car (debbugs-get-status 22285)))))
t
