WTF, how is *that* supposed to be implemented?
I guess I could use ASCII as the first half and map the other
128 to U+EF80‥U+EFFF though (which I have reserved in CSUR for
this purpose but in a different scope)… not that _that_ would
be of much use…

I guess you found a bug in glibc then.
With LC_ALL=POSIX, after setlocale(LC_ALL, ""), nl_langinfo(CODESET)
returns "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which EILSEQs in the iconv call.
