Does it?  I'll have to ask you to explain that in more detail, please.  
As far as I can see, the bug relates to a byte stream which is not 
valid utf-8 - which by definition is therefore not utf-8 at all.

What I'm talking about is taking a properly-labelled and 
properly-formed character stream in some known encoding, and
transcoding that into properly-formed utf-8 (with appropriate 
re-labelling, of course).
