I've started work on a patch for this problem.

Doing regression tests at present.

I'll get back when done.

Surely this is badly broken --- it will happily access data outside the
bounds of the given string.  Also, doesn't pg_mblen already know the
length rules for UTF8?  Why are you duplicating that knowledge?
