but failure in External Tool created with Add, Program... (having exactly the same settings):

Any idea why?

To capture UTF-8 output in TextPad 8.1, set that as the default encoding for the Tool Output document class. That didn't work in previous releases.

Here, it doesn't work in 8.1 either. See http://forums.textpad.com/viewtopic.php?p=42757#42757 .
