Comment:

 Fixed; I'm closing this as a duplicate of #7695, which I'll move to
 `merge` for 7.10.2.

 I couldn't unfortunately think of a way to introduce a reliable test here,
 without chroot/sudo, which is unsuitable for the testsuite. But I can
 confirm it fixes the above program - in fact, it runs successfully now,
 thanks to the extra patch from Sylvain, and in the case `iconv` errors, an
 exception should be thrown properly.
