That "bug" is a WONTFIX.
Fair enough. I guess the answer to that specific bug report is in fact
"DON'T DO THAT!"
However, I was wondering how "Invalid Argument" was spitting out in that
particular place with 2 possibly different root causes, so I spent some
of my copious free time in the perl debugger and came up with this patch
(also added to the bug ticket):

It is unclear to me how the original ever failed to fail, since
IO::File->new() really wants a filename or nothing and
MIME::Body->{MBS_Data} isn't a filename. With that patch and a slightly
modified one-liner (redirecting stderr because it emits a non-fatal
""Wide character in print"" warning) I get success:
