I have no idea. I only looked at the compiler/cresstr.pas unit and saw 
that the codepage of resource strings stored in the object code is set 
to the source file code page. I don't even know how the .rst/.rsj files 
are used by the compiler or RTL (or external tools), and have never 
worked on this aspect of the compiler/RTL.
