This behaviour is fixed and improved in 4.0.  Upgrading when you can is
your best bet.  I don't believe 3.8 will see more work in this code, as
our energy is going into 4.0 and the next major release series, 4.2.

I understand your motivation, but I'm leery of the compatibility of
this.  Please mention how your I18N.pm is special if you're debugging
encoding issues on the list in the future.
