これどうすべきだと思います? NKFですら

irb(main):001:0> NKF.nkf "-W8emB", "\xef\xbb\xbfb2s="
=> "\e"

こんな感じなので、「そういうものです」と言い切ってしまうのもありといえば
ありな気がしますが...

(参考)他の言語ではどうなってるかというと

% perl -mMIME::Base64 -e'print MIME::Base64::decode_base64("\xef\xbb\277b2s=")'
ok
% python

>>> from base64 import b64decode
>>> b64decode("\xef\xbb\277b2s=")
'ok'
>>> 
% php -r 'echo base64_decode("\xef\xbb\277b2s=");'
ok
