All the data received from server is in unicode format, so we need to encode to UTF-8 to get the right data value. The functions StorageVolumeModel.get_storagevolume() and StoragePoolModel.get_storagepool() used by clone() function also expects unicode values and then do the encoding to UTF-8 so on clone() function there is nothing to do related to encoding.
