Can you attach (to a message on this bug report) the file you used?

I tried reproducing this with a file that contains non-ASCII
characters, and could not get the error described here.

That's comprehensive, thank you. I would like to narrow down the test
case: which environment variables *need* to be set (are relevant) to
get the reported behaviour?

That implies those are the only two environment variables to change,
in order to reproduce this behaviour Is it sufficient to set:

    LANG=C
    LC_ALL=C

to trigger the reported behaviour?

That seems reasonable, yes.
