There's quite a way from "not properly supporting UTF, possibly mangling characters" to "needs workaround for most installs otherwise being completely unusable with opaque error message". The latter doesn't really sound like a releasable state to me. I think looking at the issue with the criterium "the distribution better not have a lot of packages with this type of fault or it's a completly useless junk collection of packages" one can see a big red blinking RC bug sign for this specific bug (as opposed to all UTF problems being RC).
