The encoding of the loaded XML (which is utf-8 in your case) 
overwrites the one specified in "new DOMDocument" and that's 
expected behaviour.

use instead:

$doc3 = new DOMDocument('1.0');
$doc3->loadXML('<root></root>');
$doc3->encoding = 'iso-8859-1';      
print $doc3->saveXML();

and it works as you want
