In principle this looks good, I think, but I'm a bit worried around the
lack of testing. I can do some testing under LATIN1 which is what we use
in Sweden (just need to get gettext working *at all* in my dev
environment again - I've somehow managed to break it), and perhaps we
can find someone to do a test in an eastern-european locale to get some
more datapoints?

Can you outline the steps one needs to go through to show the problem,
so we can confirm it's fixed in these locales?
