Yes, phpinfo shows that both extensions are installed and enabled.

One thing I noticed was this in the mbstring info:

mbstring.detect_order no value no value
mbstring.encoding_translation Off Off
mbstring.func_overload 0 0
mbstring.http_input pass pass
mbstring.http_output pass pass
mbstring.internal_encoding no value no value
mbstring.language neutral neutral
mbstring.substitute_character no value no value

That encoding_translation, does it need to be set to On in my php.ini?

I ran both tests you specified above and every test had PASS except for a 
couple which it skipped.

OK, I'll struggle with it some more. There must just be some setting 
somewhere in Horde or PHP which I don't have set right. Let's assume I 
can't ever get this working, though. Do you have any idea why the original 
issue is happening, that when I click to get the new window, it doesn't 
open in the correct character set?
