Looking at the source code, it's clear that it's reporting just the
first byte of the sequence; the 00 is redundant and probably shouldn't
be in the message.

There seem to be two possibilities: either there is a valid 3-byte
UTF8 character, which cannot be converted to LATIN1; or the alleged
UTF8 data isn't really UTF8 at all.
