Yes, I agree.  I wrote a program (long time ago) that detects the 
encoding of an XML document, and it came to the same conclusion that you 
did...  UTF-16LE.

And Expat understood and read/parsed that encoding without any problems 
on my box.  So I don't know why the OP had problems?

But for certain, it's not UTF-8, and the OP's assertion that he "fixed" 
the problem by using CCSID 1208 doesn't make sense.  It's absolutely not 
UTF-8.

Do you know if IBM i has a CCSID for UTF-16LE?  Searching around I found 
a page that says CCSID 1202 is UTF-16le, but that CCSID doesn't appear 
to be supported on i.   (Fortunately, Expat doesn't use the IBM i text 
conversion routines, it has it's own.)
