This still occurs. Contrary to bug 992667 (with "-c"), one at least
gets a failure, so that the issue should be detectable in scripts.

Upstream is worse: bug reported in 2010, with an immediate reply
"We're working on it. Something is coming soon.", but then this
remained silent.

In the upstream bug, Eric Blake said: "Several distros have add-on
patches that add wide char support, but to date, no one has yet
submitted a patch upstream that is both easy to maintain (doesn't
needlessly duplicate big blocks of code over char vs. wchar_t) and
which doesn't penalize speed on single-byte locales."

I could test with coreutils 9.9 in Termux (Android), and I get
a failure.
