I think the not-for-utf8 exclusion was mostly because that was
how it was before, which was probably mostly historical accident.
(I do vaguely recall that there was discussion on the point, but
I'm too tired to go look in the archives for it.)
As for ICU, that didn't exist back then, and I'm not going to
defend whether it was a good idea for that code path to fail
to reproduce this behavior.
