I don't think it's a bug, more like a consequence of concatenating utf8
and non-utf8 strings:

    my $a = "ü";
    my $b = "ü";
    my $c = "$a - $b";
    print "$c -> ". to_utf8($c) . ": " . (utf8::is_utf8($c) ? "utf8" : "not 
utf8") . "\n"; # GOOD
    $b = to_utf8($b);
    $c = "$a - $b";
    print "$c -> ". to_utf8($c) . ": " . (utf8::is_utf8($c) ? "utf8" : "not 
utf8") . "\n"; # GOOD

yields (hopefully the broken encoding shows up correctly here):

    ü - ü -> ü - ü: not utf8
    ü - ü -> ü - ü: utf8


In gitweb we have the bad case: 

   my $title = "$site_name - $project/$action";

$project and $action are apparently utf8 already but $site_name isn't.
The resulting string is marked as utf8 - although the encoding of
$site_name was never fixed.  The to_utf8() in esc_html() returns the string
without fixing anything because of that.

5.14.2 and 2.42_01 on Ubuntu.  Same results with 5.12.4 and 2.39 on OS X.
