--raw forces vorbiscomment to assume that whatever you are typing is
already in UTF-8.  However, if you are trying to save these three
characters, they will need to be converted to UTF-8.  Try repeating your
test, but without the --raw option.

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I have some oggs
tagged using other applications and ogginfo doesn't give me any warnings
when I use UTF-8 in them.

I did the following:

$ vorbiscomment --raw -a test.ogg -t "test=åäö"
$ vorbiscomment --raw -l test.ogg
test=åäö
$ ogginfo -v test.ogg
Processing file "test.ogg"...
