This turns out to be a bug introduced by Locale::Maketext 1.06,
which makes non-utf8 high-bit strings like "\xb3o\xacO\xb4\xfa\xb8\xd5"
fail miserably.

I have changed my test case to use all-utf8 to work around this test
and released is as 0.27:

    http://aut.dyndns.org/dist/Locale-Maketext-Lexicon-0.27.tar.gz

Alternatively, applying this patch to lib/Locale/Maketext/Guts.pm worked
for me (but may break other people using utf8 on 5.6.1, so don't apply
it just yet).  Cc'ing Sean Burke to see if anything can be done for that.

Thanks,
