I ran into something similar in my own work, but my solution may not fit your needs.
printf() won't work reliably for you. My conjecture is that printf buffers its work byte-by-byte, and if an encoded character falls across a buffer boundary, the two parts are output as escaped-decimal, because each looks like a broken encoding in isolation.
The way I solved it was to use -[NSString writeToFile:atomically:encoding:error:]. Obviously, that may not be an easy substitution for you, but unlike stdio, NSString knows about Unicode all the way down.
Or, as you say, the buffering problem may be with Xcode. In fact, that's more likely.
